DTC

What effect does deactivating the DTC have? I know it is disengaged when performing the "launch" function but say you just deactivate it to take off from a standing start?

if you press the DTC button once it is supposed to allow the wheels to spin up unto a certain speed (which is very low) this is supposed to help in sandy or loose conditions. If you press the DTC button and hold it down this is supposed to deactivate the system completely. I know that i have found that with it in this mode i can drift the back end. Some argue that in this mode that it doesnt actually deactivate completely but I am not convienced of this. Noone has given the steps that they performed that proved it. All i know is when i deactivate it i can do most anything i want except slide to a stop due to ABS activation.

Of course this isnt to be confused with sport mode.
