There's two levels of TC or "off", correct?
How often do you guys use traction control?
If it's like the gen 1s, there should be four levels:
-all on - default mode which leaves a little room for play but not much
-short press on TC - TC is momentarily deactivated but stability control still on. Won't work above +/- 40mph, and is typically used in situations where you need wheelspin to pull yourself out
-sport / track mode (short press on said button) - a slightly more lenient version of the default mode which lets you play around
-all off (long press on TC button) - should have more or less everything off (except EBD & the brake-based LSD)
-bonus: the pedal dance mode, which would turn everything off
