That a limited slip differential... or LSD. that is what I'm really looking for. Not something that limits power, something that locks up both wheels for maximum acceleration!

I checked with my dealer today about something unrelated to this thread and also mentioned about traction control. Leave it on or take it off. Safety wise leave it on. .... Spin your tires(as Lizzy pointed out once) turn it off. The master mechanic said wear wise it deosn`t save anything. The system was designed to take it. I just leave it on,,,,,,,,,,,,

It's sometimes hard for old guys like Rat to remember to turn it off.

As usual, nothing to add, right ED?

One way to turn it off permanently may be to have your dealer hard wire it. This of course depends on how tight you are with your mechanic.

Where do you get this stuff Ed, it is a safety issue, no licensed mechanic would do that!!! Don`t you want ABS to work?

I definetely want mine to work. Anyone who wires these in the off mode is asking for problems.
