I drove in the snow with DTC on for about an hour to and from work in the blizzard this year, so speeds were under 30mph the whole time and DTC was going nuts. I kept backing off the gas to save the brakes but I couldnt lose momentum or risk getting stranded, so now the rear brakes have this nasty squeal from being overheated.

That being said, I wouldnt use DTC at the track because how it can compromise your braking. Although at the same time I wouldnt recommend turning it off because the car is a handful without a mechanical LSD. And in the rain you have no choice but to leave it on because once you get in the boost the car will come around on you too quick even when you have the car pointed straight the car still has a tendency to come around.

Its a pretty bad oversight to load a car up with so much torque at 1500 rpm and not give it a mechanical LSD.
