2013 GT AUTO,373S CAI,TUNE,EXHAUST,STOCK 19" PIRELLIS,0-60 OR 1/4 MILE TRAC CONTROL ON OR OFF,WHAT SAY YOU.

If you have a lot of experience and confidence in your driving turn it off. I didn't and i turned it off on my first ever pass and went sideways halfway down the track. Didn't wreck but I ran with it on until I learned the car!

Stop yelling. Leave it off. Practice makes perfect, don't practice with a crutch.

Depends on what kind of driver you are. If you know what you are doing, having it off could get you a little better launch. After that, I don't think it matters with an automatic.

WHAT SAY I? I say you should practice with it off. You'll get better times. Although I don't know how well the TCS works considering I went sideways after punching it in 2nd with TCS on.

Trudat... So you should definitely turn it off before you hit turn one on the quarter mile.

thanks alot will try with it off,friend told me say thing,just wanted more input on this,once again thanks for your responses.!!!!!

Turn it off so you don't look like an asshat when you launch and the car falls on its face. I put the AdvanceTrac in sport mode too, not that it matters in this situation, but it's just as easy to set.

Bojingles · May 17, 2012

In case you're wondering how to do that it's in your owner's manual or just read on!

If you hit the AdvanceTrac button once it will turn off the Traction Control System (TCS) but not the Electronic Stability Control (ESC).
Stop the car, hold the brake pedal down and press the button twice to put it into Sport Mode. This changes the characteristics of the TCS and the ESC for more aggresive driving and helps you keep the car out of the wall or getting sideways.
Stopped, hold the brake pedal down and hold the button for 5+ seconds and the system will turn completely off. No TCS or ESC.

Turning it all back on is simple too. Just press the button again. Enjoy yourself!

Drag radials cure the issue. Advance trak off and stomp your foot to the grill.

A word of warning, don't heat up the tires with the Trac Control on. American Muscle has a pic of what happens when you do. Rear caliper bolts snapped because the trac control engaged. You might want to put a post it note on the dash to remind you, until it becomes a habit. There is a lot to focus on prior to staging.

So is this on the 2011s also?

Bojingles · May 27, 2012

It should be yes.

stang8urimport · May 27, 2012

"sport mode" i believe is only available on cars with the Brembo brake package.

OracleHCR · May 27, 2012

Nope. It isn't just with the Brembo package. I think it is available on all GT premiums. I know I have it on my GT/CS.
