Traction control: Yes or No?

[Bdubbs]

Sorry for yet another noob regarding the these GT 350's.

I'm curious who's using traction control and who isn't? And how do you use the car?

My 03 cobras TC is shut off through my tune. I'm very familiar with that car and it makes around 700 rwhp.

The little I've driven my GT 350 I've left it on and always drive in sport mode.

I only drive my cars in nice weather and mainly just cruising around with a little spirited driving.

Appreciate the help!

I disable it on track but don’t bother on the street.

Unless you are wanting to do a burnout, there's no real reason to disable it on the street.

The system is really good and I leave stability control on even when autocrossing mine but do run it in race mode with the traction control off.

I see no reason to turn it off on the street.

On the street, I always hold the TC button until everything is off. I've never had TC or Stability Control in any of my cars before and can't stand it when it kicks in on the street when I want to kick the back end out a little.

On track, I run Track Mode so it turns TC off but keeps the stability control on to keep me from getting too out of hand. When I get used to a specific track, I'll turn it off once in a while but when I'm really pushing it, I keep it on for some peace of mind.

This is me as well. I've never had it or used it on any of my other cars. At least with my other cars I feel more in control when the tires are spinning and I can feel how the car is responding.

Short, one word answer.
Depends
In your case, you sound like a “driver”. Go play with the different settings.
Personally I’m not a track guy but I love to play in the twisties. Sport mode is pretty good for me…your results will vary.

My last name begins with an "A" however I'm not Andretti so I keep it on.
