First time out tomorrow for bracket racing. Should the ASR be engaged or not?

Thanks! First race - broke out but had excellent performance. What a dreamy car! 98.68 and I wasn't even trying. I'll flip the ASR off in two weeks and see what happens.

I believe it stands for Acceleration Slip Regulation, but what it means is traction control.

Traction control in a Camaro is called ASR as stated above. In a Firebird it's called TCS (traction control system).

For all out best performance, turn off traction control.

For bracket racing where consistency is needed, leave it turned on.

I assumed the same thing when I first read the post but never said anything. It's like Radial Tuned Suspension. Just another fancy name for a simple thing. Traction control is traction control no matter what kind of name you throw at it.

Go to your parts store and ask for a backfire flame arrestor. It's an air filter. I had a hard enough time asking for a Throttle Valve cable. Call it a transmission detent or kickdown cable and get better results.

A drag chute is considered a non-rigid aerodynamic decelerator field.

Be politically incorrect and call things what they really are.
