How to turn off traction control?
I'd like the ability to do some burnouts with my 8 but I don't seem to have the ability to turn off the TC on my car?

Does it have a "DSC" switch?

I don't think there is a way to turn TC off. On the base models, there isn't a button. Also, when you hold the button for 5 seconds, the PCM sees it as a button failure, and flashes the light at you. I'm not sure if it turns off TC or not.

i'd leave it on and save your clutch and tires the stress of burning out... but if you insist, just press the DSC button and you'll see the dash light and you'll be able to burn some rubber..
