I drive in Manual Mode about 80-90% of the time. I like shifting and this mostly keeps me out of the gravity well of the torque dip.

When I first got the car, I fiddled with the VSC and traction...

Well, it's been fun chaps, but I'm off the the Tacoma forum. From what I understand, it's basically a supercar in mid-sized truck trim. Gotta get me one.

This thread has more words per post than I think I've ever seen here.

Anyway, I've changed my mind. The MX-5 is not for you. You need a Camaro SS or ZL1. They have no torque dip.
