Even with an NA, switch off traction control for best launches-with-some-wheelspin.

Damage can come when attempting a serious (as in drag strip) launch, tach-to-4-grand-and-dump-the-clutch kinda launches with traction control on can get really unpleasant, more so if you have tweaked the engine.


The first time you gotta deal with starting in the snow, you may change your mind about TRAC. Sure, it ain't a limited slip differential, and surely ain't 4wd, but it helps.
