Should I get better times with ASR or Traction Control on or off when racing my car? The reason why I'm asking is because I recently tested my with the G-Tech, and here are my results.....


G-Tech:

0-60 with ASR On: 4.9 seconds

0-60 with ASR Off: 5.6 seconds, couldn't get any traction off the line....

1/4 mile with ASR On: 13.2 at 112.5 mph


So what gives? I though the ASR kills performance?

 

It does, when you know how to drive that is

you will always get a better time when you can control your launch. Asr or TCS bogs the car down!

 

Keep it off while racing at the track definatly, the track I go to uses a TON of VHT. I can't even spin the tires if I tried.

 

It is very hard to get traction on the street, compared to the track. When I race (at the track) I have the ASR off. I have to, I use a line lock and ET-Street with a loose converter. On the street, I leave the ASR on. ASR will retard timing, some other stuff, and push the throttle pedal back at you (depending on how bad the lose of traction is).

 

not really related to your question but do you have the gtech competition (new one) and if so how do you like it, i want to get one!!

 

Gotta come down on Phantom's side - - ASR off and you'll see why when you learn how to control her off the line at the track. I know I did. ASR is great for pulling your bacon out of the fire in a street situation, but name of the game in racing is the hook up, and you have to feel it and control it. ASR doesn't respond fast enough to maximize the launch...that's not what it was designed for.

 

I have the original one, it works fine. My friend brought his car to the track and used the G-Tech, said it was just about dead accurate except for the mph, mph was off.
