Default firehawk abs traction assist, how to disable

first of all i didnt believe the guy when he told me but he said unless his tires are really wet he cannot powerbrake his firehawk. he insists that the rear brakes are applied and it bogs. i dont know if he isnt doing it right or what. but i thoguht this only came wiht traction control option and that it can be turned off, but i dont know much about hawks but i know enough to question him

If you click the traction control off, there's nothing holding you back from destroying the tires. Now these cars DO have an electronic brake force distribution system, rather than the age-old brake proportioning valve. When you initially apply the brakes, the front and rear are applied equally. Starting your burnout should always be done with light brake application.

there is no traction control on the car, he just wasnt keeping high enough revs though, hell of a burn out before he got tires though, about a ziploc bag and a half of rubber, from bald tires lol
