Vsc sport and Sport mode at the same time?
 
I reccently just bought my frs and just got past my break in period so I decided to finally press my sport mode and vsc sport mode 😬😀! Has anyone ever tried this combo before?(vsc sport and sport) Ive heard of other users just putting it on sport mode and turning off the traction completely.

Every time I drive.

Pushing the buttons does not completely turn the nannys off just numbs them to a point where you have to start really pushing the limits before they kick in. To really turn them off you have to start pulling fuses or do "the pedal dance".
Now mind you, if anybody is pushing their car to the limits where you need them completely off while driving on the street they are likely going to end up dead or in jail anyway.

VCS sports only allows you to slide slightly more before the car cuts in. I don't like "sport mode" because it only allows the transmission to hold the gears longer. You're better off in the M mode because even in "sport", the transmission lugs in too high of a gear sometimes.

Holy shit. You found the turbo :bow:

I have no idea what your talking about. I shift gears when I want to using a clutch. The real mans transmission.



Just kidding im not that guy.... I test drove an auto and turned those on. It was quite a bit of fun!

Does holding down the far left button(OFF) for three seconds do the same as the "pedal dance"? When I do that the car will go sideways like the nannies(traction control and VSC) are off.

No, they're not the same.

The "Pedal Dance" is a diagnostic mode that turns every electronic assist off but may in turn make the car feel off-balance from certain anecdotes on this forum since there is no more ABS I believe.

So just adding no power steering and brakes along with the traction control and VSC with that dance?

Power brakes and steering still there. Gotta pull fuses to get rid of those and probably die in the process.
Even the pedal dance leaves some controls in place. They are minimal but they are there. For some strange reason they really seem to be worried that people will kill themselves.

Since this brand is marketed towards younger folk, they probably want to keep the car as safe as possible, I'd bet.

I don't trust 16-25 year olds behind the wheel. To the point I've stopped texting and driving because they're too unpredictable and I actually need to watch the road so I know what they're doing.

Can't tell if being serious or not.

Especially with the red part.

The pedal dance does absolutely nothing to the steering in fact no button in the car effects steering this is completely different and because it seems you have no clue what any of the buttons do I'd stay away from the pedal dance if I were you. All you need to know is it fully disables essentially all traction functions/assists except for ABS, and its not something you should really play around with on the street

"The Pedal Dance" just seems like a really weird idea to me. It reminds me of putting in a cheat code for a video game.
