I cannot count the number of times I go to drift, power slide, pull a quick u-turn, burn out, dough nut, etc. etc and stability control turns on and kills my fun. I mean, I'm already being an ****, then it kicks on and makes me look worse! Like I have no idea what I'm doing, and own a car with too much power for my ability! It's easy to turn off traction, but by the time I decide I'm about to do something stupid, I never stop and think to myself; "hold on, gotta hold this button down for 10 (whole) seconds before I do this!"

I know I cannot be the only one who has done this before, please share!

Reminds me of that episode of Top gear where they were invited to that movie set and Jeremy is like, "It's crucial we show the shot of them holding the TCS button for 7 secs. Anyone who watches our show knows that it takes 7 seconds for the TCS to turn off on a Jag."

I can't stand that crap and if it was easy to yank it all out I would. I don't care if it could possibly make me a little faster by the stop watch, I can drive my own car and I don't need the damn thing thinking for me.

I've thought about just getting a painless wiring harness for a 69 chevelle, a set of autometers and a stand alone for the motor but unfortunately the AC system has to be precise down to the degree on both sides of the car in order to be acceptable in today's world....screw that too..

At least I got rid of that needy *** stock NAV system POS....I don't miss that damn thing in the least

Every time I jump in my car, the first thing I do after starting it is turn the traction control off. I'm used to it from my Volkswagen so it's just natural now lol.

Do what I did… Destroy the abs sensor wiring in the rear wheel bearing when installing axles. Problem. Solved.

But that only turns off traction control. Not stability.

Is there a way to turn off abs but leave tc and stability.
My abs kicks on all the time because I run 28" drag radials in the back

gtistile

/\ speaking of which, you have PM

runsfromdacops

I know. I'm usual on my phone and I hate typing out long responses until I get back to my computer

gtistile

No prob. I know how that is. Look forward to hearing from you.

That's the first thing I do when I get into the car. I will even try holding it down while I turn out of the driveway if I forget before I reverse out.

I will say I actually like the feature, I just wish you could set it by driver (ie. 1 vs 2) to default to off or any of the modes really.

It is nice knowing if my wife or someone else wanted to drive the car that there is a security net there for people who may not be use to it.

soooo...to disable this feature....hold down TC for 10 seconds?

NIKDSC5

iTrader: (10)

yup.


Is any one else as shocked at the V1 owners who did not know how to disable this? There is also a button in the glove box if you did not know! Guess it would be an easy assumption that when trac control is off so is stability.

Bio248

you gotta touch it once, THEN hold it for 10 seconds. i have no idea if being in competitive driving mode with the stability control disabled does anything at all...

AFAIK, competitive driving mode turns off traction control and "loosens" the control of stability mode.

NIKDSC5

I don;t have to touch it then hold. If I get in and hold it it will turn off.

Does it? Makes sense. Now I wonder what loosens means. Also, I cannot get my car into competitive mode, something about a head unit change or some BS and not being updated correctly? Oh well, I don't want it.
