ken666 Donating Members 140 Member For: 5y 11m 11d Posted 02/09/19 01:39 PM Share Posted 02/09/19 01:39 PM Well........ by the look of my rear tyres compared with the fronts... My 2009 FG XR6 has no throttle reduction when DSC is switched off! And, to be honest... I am only really replying to this post cos I'm a little inebriated, and got so much entertainment from all the fireworks!! Phuck me, if someone owns or drives any type of vehicle and can't feel whether there is ANY type of programmed electronic driver aid intervening the drivers action/reaction to control the vehicle. Then maybe they should not be in that seat with the steering wheel in front of them??? In my opinion, everyone should learn to drive in an old overpowered sh*tbox with bald tyres on a wet circuit... when you can feel what a car is about to do, before it's too late to need all the electronic IDIOT proof programs, only then you should be allowed to sit for your licence.. Yes, yes, they can be great features to have (for those times you are in auto pilot), but that's always a bit of food for thought. Should you be driving a motor vehicle in this state of mind (hoping the car sees what you really should already be watching?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the more control (degree of on or off ) you have the better. My VF SSVR is awesome I can turn off dsc or traction or bother together. And have a degree of both with competitive mode MY BA F6 only has traction which I leave off. As since tuning it is useless The BF F6 is far better. Works fine tuned. With my BA BF when traction is off Its fully off. I gather FG would work great. But I know you cant turn them off seperatly (Traction and DSC) Edited 02/09/19 03:18 PM by arronm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless I forget, it's off before I'm out of any driveway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ken666 Donating Members 140 Member For: 5y 11m 11d Posted 03/09/19 04:47 AM Share Posted 03/09/19 04:47 AM Haha, just read my reply from last night! (appears it was a bit bigger than I remember!) But yeah, I still switch all aids off before I leave the driveway too camo86t. Maybe it's just the comfort of actually being the one in control/responsible for my passenger's and my own safety, instead of trusting something that uses less realtime information than myself to "react" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or the brake may grab the wheel during spin and snap an axle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ken666 Donating Members 140 Member For: 5y 11m 11d Posted 03/09/19 09:17 AM Share Posted 03/09/19 09:17 AM I always wondered why it does that. My ex destroyed the side of my supercharged XR8 while reversing it though the driveway gates... It was wet grass and she jumped sideways and dragged the gate from the rear bumper to the front guard... She got the sh!ts with me because t/c didn't do anything to save her!!
