yes message in dic comes on and says "stability system off", no i haven't tried disconnecting the battery... I know tc is engaging bc ill go through first and blow the tires out, then hit second and spin for a split second (when i can tell it easily should have kept spinning) and tc will engage momentarily making the car feel like its falling on its ***, then as soon as the tire spin stops i can feel it go back into WOT and start pulling again and sometimes depending on road surface will spin through the rest of second. sometimes it will let me spin all the way through second but most of the time the tc will engage stopping tire spin. its really annoying. Though it was tpms sensors but i fixed those and still does it. 
anyone else?? Trending Topics

tc cuts throttle so it wont just stop the tire spin, when it hits it feels more the cars bogging, i think your tires are just getting warmed up and are starting to grip thats what causes them to stop spinning, or you might need a retune on the car, maybe it has a bad tune so it bogs down

thanks nikon ill try that. yes its not the car bogging down i guarantee its the tc system cutting throttle for some reason, like i said sometimes it does sometimes it doesn't, and why would i need a retune on a 100% bone stock car down to the paper filter lolz it only seems to do it in second too, sometimes after it does it in second ill catch 3rd and itll spin pretty hard through the bottom of third, if it was the car bogging down it would bog even more in third. and yes my bone stock v will spin in third the little 245's are extra bald lol

also for some reason (i just bought the car two months ago) the pass side tpms sensors are switched i.e the front is on the rear and rear is on the front lol im gonna swap the wheels and see if that helps too. also the tire size is 245/40 all around and i believe stock size is 245/50??? could the tire height being slightly off have anything to do w it?

Stock size is 245/45 and yes different size tires will cause tc issues. I had a setup once where the rears were slightly shorter than the front and anything over 85mph would set off the tc.

One other thing to look at is the wheel hop retard, I seen it in the tune file when I was messing with my V. It's under engine, torque management, traction control, POWERHOP in HP tuners.

stock but was replaced under warranty shortly before i bought the car w the latest version, tried to find part #s on the diff but couldn't see any, which brings me to my next q: how do you identify the "4th gen diff"?? is this referring to the v2 diff or just the latest version of the v1 diff?
