I cant stand it, even in the wet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We dont ever get topics on drivers wishing to turn there ABS off. Also if your a BF owner and you turn the T/C off, then you are also turning off the stability control (DSC). The DSC should never be turned off and did me a little favour recently on a patch of black ice, in that it did what it was suppose to do and worked perfectly.This topic has come up a few times and there are many viewes on it.I.B.

We dont ever get topics on drivers wishing to turn there ABS off. I.B.If there was a little button on my dashboard that said ABS off then when circumstances allow (like gravel roads) I would be flicking that off as well.I've only activated the ABS on my car a couple of times in the two & half years I've owned it where as the TC would cut in everytime I get in the car, which really pisses me off. The way the TC cuts in the BA's doesn't really inspire me with confidence, it just feels hard on the car & my nerves.Just my 2 cents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could easily say that I dont need airbags cause ive never crashed.With big mods there may be some issies but otherwise leave the damn thing alone. I really think the only reason its switchable is to allow for burnouts.I.B. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A mild custom tune with an auto will have it activating at the most inconvenient times.I just hate having my car jump around like drunk Wallaby when I give it even a small boot up the ass with the TC on. Doesnt feel very safe to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
