Thread: Im sick of the TCS how to get rid of it??

The car doesn't take off hard with traction control. Traction control limits torque by spark and fuel, up-shifts to a higher gear to limit torque to the wheels, and in extreme cases can modulate the front brakes to bring them under control. It's much different feeling than torque management, which I think he experienced.

Traction control's purpose isn't to make you take off when doing a burnout. It's to bring your wheels under control so you don't go in a ditch in icy/snowy/rainy conditions. It assists you in stopping the wheels from spinning as you get out of the throttle, not do all the work as you just hold the throttle.
