I have read a lot of posts wanting to disable the ESP. Do you have stock in Goodyear Tire Co? Even if you were to drag race the car, and I am sure most wont, you would want traction, right? I have raced most of my life and I can tell you a real racer would not want to sit in a cloud of smoke. They want to get from point A to point B faster than the other guy.
If you have to look cool, just put the car in manual first gear and shove the pedal to the floor. Oh yeah, and make sure your local tire store has your size in stock.
DiamDave,
The reason people want to disable these (helpfull) features is that they take away from driver skill. Most racing organiztions ban traction control because it makes those with less talent more competitive. Real race drivers steer with their hands and their feet. A brake tourque burnout is really not a burnout. A burnout without ESP and traction control means hold on baby, we're goin for a ride.
