Yes, probably in Bedford.

I had some fun on a twisty road with VDC off in complete control...and the traction control kept cutting in? At least, I think it did because the light kept flashing when I gave the car a few slides around some hairpins. Either it was just indicating slip and allowing the LSD to work as intended and I was indeed carrying the car through those corners in total control, or it was cutting off power.

I don't have this issue when the road is straight, as the car will light the rears up all the way to redline on a cooler day when the tire temps aren't up.

No it does that. Mine does the same, even with VDC off it will still interfere occasionally.
