That's a pretty stupid statement. The point is the car isn't acting the way it should, and that's a problem. It's that simple. I never said that I did it all the time, but noticing the change is what is important.

Regarding the traction, as I said before, there's a loss of power....traction in 1st and 2nd is a problem when the car is running right. With traction control on, under WOT, the car drops power to maintain traction in both gears.
