I had to play with the ESP button again today....this is what I came up with....holding the button in until the light comes on...gives you the option to do what I thought was an excellent burnout.

Hold in the ESP button longer (before it beeps)...the car doesn't want to perform a burnout.

Hold ESP button until it beeps....triple the length of your burnout...I didn't think I could love this car anymore...I'm in heaven!

Thanks for the input and the lesson on this...fyi...I actually counted...it was 8 seconds for the beep.

One tip for burnouts. It seems if you hold the car straight, the burnout will continue. If you try to fishtale, the hand of Big Brother will swoop down upon you and ruin your fun.

WTG Ronda,

Now you get to play with ALL the power. I dont believe the 09's have the disable option.

According to the Buyers Guide, the ESC Shutoff switch comes with the Trak Pak. So at least the 09 manuals will still have it.

Mopar2ya - your wife sounds like my hubby! All he does is shakes his head and says there goes another $100!

Yep... ESP goes off... and stays off. Left it off until I got to where I was going and turned the car off. Did not come back on until I restarted the car to go home. Didnt know you could do that... but sure will put down some smokey burnouts when off...

Glad you posted it to Chris. Until Rhonda posted about holding the button and seeing the results I was getting PM's telling me I was nuts :-)
