CrazyDave_merged Posted July 5, 2007 Report Share Posted July 5, 2007 I just noticed the T/C button (second day as new owner). Does using T/C use more gas? Or, effect performance? I know it prevents rears from spinning, I turned it off and I am having much more fun now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Morris Posted July 6, 2007 Report Share Posted July 6, 2007 dave it shouldnt effect performance and im pretty sure it has nothing to do with the gas mileage. and just leave it off so you can spin them tires. michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it prevents rears from spinning, I turned it off and I am having much more fun now. If the SGT's is similar to the GT-H's (don't have mine yet; have only rented and I don't know why it wouldn't be), there was a bit of spin allowed before it took over. After having owned many prior GTs with it, along with BMWs and the like, I found that on the GT-H to be much better as the older version would completely kill the power immediately. Unless you plan to do a very smoky burnout, I would say leave it on as it may end up saving your a$$ sometime (assuming you drive yours like I plan to drive mine). Just my $0.02.

The only thing the TC button does is when it's on and you rear tires lose grip, the car senses it, turns on a little "slippery when wet" light on the dash and cut's the power from the engine until the tires grip again. You want to kick it in to see how it works, find an open stretch of road, wrap up to about 3500 RPM's pop the clutch and hammer down. You will grow to hate it quickly - especially when you go to show off in front of someone and forget to turn it off. For normal driving it's not even noticeable but then who drives normal? :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like I'm the only one here who has not cut donuts in his ex-wife's yard, hit the ditch, done a highway patrol turn around and shot out of a tight 180 at 85 MPH. All without spilling his Rockstar! Get real.... :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
