Default No Burnouts With the A7?

I was reading an article today (see below), and they mentioned that in the A7 they were not able to spin the rear tires. They said the engine management system cuts in and reduces the power even though the traction control has been turned off.

Is this true?

If so, is there a flash that fixes it?

In a sense, this 370Z is supposed to be Nissan’s Mustang. That means the Nissan needs to be able to do a huge, smoky burnout. Just one problem – it can’t. We tried. The traction control was off, but apparently “off” is a relative term with the automatic transmission model. Even with the electronic nannies turned off, the computer controlling the motor will still cut the power off at the first hint of wheel spin. It’s a result that left a colleague and I sitting in an empty industrial park with a cabin filled of disbelief rather than smoke. In fact, in several conditions, we found the traction control overbearing, stepping in when we’d have rather it didn’t.
