That's the thing. MS8 creates black hole, and due to the massive power, it uses the gravitational pull of that black hole, and torpedoes itself around gaining even more momentum. It's actually light speed 8x.

Its all just fun may'n... enjoy it. We get bored on here sometimes so when a perfect thread comes up, we take advantage of it.

On a serious note..

What's the difference between one click off and completely off? I spent a practice autocross day of 30+ runs and tried to find the difference but i couldn't. I can get very sideways (and backwards for that matter) in both modes and i couldn't really feel any interference with only clicking it once verses having it completely off.

Whats the difference? Technically speaking.

What are the computers limiting in each mode?

click = dynamic stability control

holding for a few seconds = traction control

This thread wasn't as bad as when I asked if a twin turbo would be a direct fit onto the rx8, Renesis gave me some sh&t for that one.

I have actually gone through the manual though, didn't find any other unknown secrets but did find out the steering wheel does actually control the car.

Check your trunk to see if they cheated you out of a spare tire.
