Mom, is that you? Why are you on this site? Geez, leave me alone!!
Just kidding with you.
For me, it's not the fact that I want to do some idiotic tire smoking, it's that I hate cars that intervene in my driving. The first thing I do when I get in my 335 is turn off the traction control. I want to control how much wheelspin I get either from a standing start or coming out of slow corner.
If it doesn't get much wheelspin due to it being a great chassis and a great setup then that's great (my old 968 was a perfect example), I just don't want engine power reduced because my cars "nanny" thinks that I need some type of help to control a car.
I absolutely hate traction control. I grew up driving muscle cars and learned how to control a car without help from a computer.
And furthermore if someone is paying for their own car and their own tires and if they want to go melt them down by doing some tire smoking burnout then I say go for it if you don't have the potential to hurt someone. It's a free country do what you want. Or at least it used to be a free country.
Smoke'em if you got'em boys! Before Obama makes it illegal.
