Traction Control (ASR)..?
#3
After I start the car, that's the first thing I turn off. It's a habit now. ASR does basically two things...it pushes the gas pedal out & applies the back brakes when wheel-spin is detected. So, unless it starts snowing or raining really hard, I usually turn it off & leave it off.

I know that trac-control cuts back the engine power 'til the wheels stop spinning, but does it actually apply the brakes? I didn't think GM was that advanced?! Well .......at least not with the F-bodies!

Yeah it applies the brakes and it takes a few seconds before it will let you really get on the gas again.

my friends 96 z has got it
he only leaves it on because he doesnt want to shred his new tires
but there is a way to have it start off when you turn on your car, and then you can turn it on when it's raining, snowing, etc.

The only way I know of having off being the default on a LS1 is by plugging in a $50 part to the back of the switch. I will get the link if anyone is interested it.

I leave my traction control off, especially in dry conditions. If their is snow and I want to do donuts then I turn it off again . It really works though because last week I was driving practically sideways for a 100 feet, inch by inch. Without this feature I would have been in circles.
