If launching hard on a hard surface, will both tires not spin if the traction control is turned off?

If TC is not fully disabled - no - they won't spin it will just bog down until TC senses it's fine and ramps back in the power.

Turning TC completely off by holding the button for 10~ seconds, will enable you to do a burnout.

Mine will do a burnout with TC on, just not very far.

Turning TC off and leaving advance track on, will allow a burnout and not let you spin out. Turning it all off gets you a YT video

So far for me, turning it all off doesn't give me the YT vid scenario. Instead the rear breaks loose from 1st to 2nd and I can correct it. With just the TC off, the car still tries to overcorrect itself and the YT vid scenario pops up.

does it go back to normal after the car is turned off and on (holding the button down for 10 seconds). Also, (for anyone to answer) are the YT videos a result of the traction control being on? And if you do the "10 second", hold will this prevent the YT plowing into people?

Yes, it resets with every key cycle.

Crashes are the result of incompetent drivers 99% of the time - the assumption that traction control will or will not save you is a portion of that.

Know your own driving limits, the limits of your car, and the limits of the environment you’re in.
