Don't you hate it when you're having a good day at work, then your boss comes by to tell you that you need to actually do something and that "You can't spend your 40 hours a week trawling the internet, Cole".

Wouldn't know. My boss works in Germany and he has only snuck into Canada on me once. Luckily he was here to say good work and give the plant an award so all was fine.

I have a strong feeling that our workers stationed in CO get drug tested more often... only a theory.. but I can never be too sure.. lol

So guys with my new tires I see that the stock "traction control" system holds back the car. I would normally put it in the "VSC sport" mode but now I find myself putting it to full off when I'm trying to push the car.

But I also realized its not completely safe to drive with traction completely off..
Like this morning the car kicked out because the ground was wet, I almost hit a curb.. But your pal MisterSheep knows how to countersteer and save his ride before you see a "I just crashed my ride" thread.

Yeah with my new increased width and material I realize the car won't "chirp" the tires much when shifting gears but I do notice when it starts the spin the tires that it's quieter and u dont hear much of a chirp and it'll get the tail end further sideways and then hook.

When you say "fully off" do you mean holding down the assist button for three seconds, or are you using the brake sequence? I'm fairly certain the brake sequence actually turns it all the way off, and the button just lessens it's sensitivity/intensity

yeah I have some MPSS on mine which I heard are a good street/DD car but are sub par on the track. I'm okay with that, because when I run these tires until they're gone I'll get a different set of tires and possibly change my 8.5's in the fronts for some 9.5's so I can run squared.

IMO I would change the rears to 8.5 for performance instead. but if you just want the look then go for 9.5
