you can do donuts with the system off, no intervention that i noted.

DTC mode, 1 quick push, should be the standard amount of slip. In full on it's waaaay too intrusive when it's wet or even cold out. I always try to remember to hit the damn button when i get in the car, too bad it's up in the middle of the dash.

Fully off is great for fooling around, and i've used it for getting up a hill in the snow last year where i couldn't get enough momemtum or wheel spin with the car in DTC mode.

Lots of guys seem to fear the fully off mode, you've got a very balanced car with strong brakes and ABS, good tires, etc....it's a good way to learn driving dynamics, just make sure you have the space to do it...ideally on a track.

I got my driving dynamics with quads, snowmobiles, and then mustangs, camaros, and even a c5 vette (which was actually half decent). Nothing balanced, nothing safe about those cars, but lots of power, bad weight distribution and live axle rear ends (not the c5). Learning to drive them on the tracks and then on the roads near the limit redefines white knuckle.

This car fully off is a pussy cat compared them.
