It helps in freezing temps when you're running drag radials and trying to race someone. Much easier that feathering it.

I LOVE my TCS.

It allows you to spin the wheels just enough for a perfect launch (but it does suck when you do spin and it comes in) so all that I really use is the ASR. I have to admit, a few times at high speeds the ASR has saved my ***. I dont know if I actually woulda spun or crashed, but I definitely felt like the ASR helped.

I'm glad I have mine. I think it has helped out on one or two occasions. Turning it off doesn't bother me. Even if I have to do it everything. I drive the car so rarely that it doesn't really get to me.

Where options are concerned: I'd rather have them and not use them, than not have them and want them or wonder if I would like it.

i think imma buy that module that reverses it...when you turn the car on its off and it only comes on if you hit the switch...
