when ASR is on:
if your tires start to loose traction, the traction control (ASR) will bog the motor down for a split second so the tires can hook back up. most people turn this off andonly use it when the roads are slippery from rain or ice.

i believe it automatically applies brake pressure to control the wheel spin til it stops trying to spin and with the brakes coming on it is slowing you down, but then again if you have street tires and you just blow them off from a dig then it would be wise to leave on the traction control..

When the asr kicks in it actually punches the gas pedal back out at you, i dont think it applies the brakes. It was really weird the first time it happened to me.

The ASR pushes the pedal back out and definitely prevents you from accelerating as fast as possible. It is not for race mode. I do leave mine on when the weather is bad. But I have a pretty good habit of cutting it off as soon as I start the car.
