... can anyone tell me why I can’t do a on the spot burnout or even drift the traction control kicks in and straightens me up...
Probably the more important question is why would you want to do such on presumably public roads... it’s against the law and police will impound your ride...
Heck, if you’re one of those selfish nutters that do burnouts or go sideways at night time, keeping people wake, I hope theypolice not only impound your car but a judge put you behind bars... Maybe you’ll learn and grow up a little...
If you want to learn the capabilities of your car, do the correct thing and go to Calder Park, assuming they still have track days ...
If you are exploring the capabilities of your vehicle on a track, I do congratulate you
Unfortunately, I believe traction control can’t be fully turned off, only relaxed in stages... Meanwhile torque management (anti abuse?) on autos means you can’t light them up as 300+ Kw and 500+ Nm under the right foot should allow...
And I do find it odd that a LS3 sports sedan with its advertised power/torque figures is limited by torque management in vehicles with auto’s (I don’t think manuals have such limits, or if they do they are higher). It seems very much like false advertising to state such power/torque figures and then not be able to access the full amount and brake traction and/or oversteer because the gearbox may break... It’s very much a bait and switch in my view and I shouldn’t have to pay to remove nanny code form the engine/auto tune... I should just press a button and be able to switch off such nannies when on a track...
