Yep, and ..... remember, especially in California, after a dry spell and then it rains ..... be extra careful .... the roads are super slick.

Also, when I mention "jerky" moves, I mean that, although your car may be able to quickly and safely change position, that doesn't mean that the other drivers can react that quickly.

Why not? Because there is a good chance they are "impared" OR zoned out OR communicating on their cell phones OR fussing with their kids OR ..... well, you get the idea .....

I have no idea how you were driving and I'm not judging you. From my own experiences I'd advise you to get a front strut tower bar and roll on 225 rubber at the very least. Based from years of trail and error tuning my previous cars, this is my FR car, must have, street tune rule! ~God speed!

My car before actually had no traction control or anything of that but then again I never drove my car like I drove my frs now so yea.

Just ease your way into this car. It is a great learning car but, as you've discovered, it is designed to be "fun to drive".

Leave TRAC on and "listen" to the chassis. Then try VSC setting and feel the rear end step out further before the electronics step in. Once you have that all dialled into the seat of your pants switch TRAC off and go for it.

Regarding the snapping, that's just you. I've only snapped playing around trying new things, as in "I wonder what happens if I do this."

Unless you are actively planning on hanging the ass out why on earth would you turn it off... (and do not do it on public roads)

You think you know how to handle your car but you never know what the other idiots on the road are going to do that you will have to react to.

There is absolutely no reason to drive with it off please do everyone on the road a favor and leave you shit on. My family would greatly appreciate it as would our collective insurance rates.

Do you go around telling people who own cars without TC this?
I prefer my inputs over the car's retardation when there is any sign of slip. I also feel way more comfortable. Why does this appeal to me more? I know how the car behaves with it on and I don't like it. The allows a slight bit of angle, then cuts throttle. That just plants the rear end and swings the front. In fact if you read the thread, you would see that I'm not the only one.

Plus, you don't know me. You don't know how I drive. You don't know where I drive. You don't know the precautions I take just getting from home to school everyday. You don't know how texting idiots I deal with, or people who don't know of such things like stop signs and right-of-ways. You don't know the grade of road I drive on. You don't know where I live, or how I pull into traffic. So don't tell me anything.

The moral of the story is simple. Drive for yourself, the cars around you, and the cars that are coming (or just in the greater vicinity).

And that concludes my little rant.

I think that is more personal opinion than fact that " you think you know how to handle your car" the stability control and traction control system at least in this car is very temper mantle and not always predictable. From learning how to drive cars that do not carry these "safety" features and driving a car that does have these features I would rather trust my own instincts in any situation instead of a computer that is programmed to act the same given any situation that the wheel slips.

If you are on public road, keep all nannies ON. When you are on the track - that is time to get loose.

All i need to know about you you already stated YOU turn it off. Enough said.

If you car comes with a safety device only an ass would turn it off on a public road thinking they are better than the computer.

There are enough posts on this forum on people who thought they knew better and wrecked their cars I do not remember any who said the nannies were ON when they did it...

[boredom.is.me]

Again, you don't know me, so don't compare me to anyone else. The only thing you are doing is making ignorant assumptions about me. Congrats, you have bested me. Now are you going to go after the other two posters in this thread.

And again, if you read what I posted, you wouldn't be shitting on me. Be responsible on the road and stay safe.

Done.

I curbed my car first month I had it. Cold tires eager right foot.
Side impacts like that will usually destroy your wheel bearing if not today sooner or later it wilk fail.
Wheel and tire for sure and I would proactively replace lower control arm. they are very easy to bend and deflect. Then re align.
