Default When your racing on the streets?

Should you put your TCS button on or off?

I couldn't find it on the search

Thanks

ASR is the most useless thing ever. Pisses me off when I want to light them up, then it kills all the power. I keep it on when it rains, but it isn't needed, never see the light on when it rains. Might be good in the snow, but who drives one of these beasts in the snow???

its just me but the asr helps a beginner learn with the car, the asr basically shows you how much the limit is! but when ever i race, i always turn it off! but the rest of the time on regular driving no use to turn it off. i just dont like to see the orange light on the dash!

ASR might be good for a newb, never thought about that. I hate that orange light, but the worst part is lack of smoke and tire squeal

asr is good for weather driving...really wet roads, ice...with it off driving in that type of weather is prolly one of the reason why we had such a influx of totaled fbodies over the last month....oooo +23486293 for turning it off for racing

IMO
Theres a place to race... At the track, turn that damn thing off.
On the street do whatever but dont race...
