It was a spur of the moment thing, I usually turn it off before I get on it.
But I'm still a ***** either way. Can't deny it, so I won't defend it.
Yeah, you don't have anything with enough power to need it.

BTW, I was asking a serious question and trying to add something relevant to this thread and all I get is smartass responses. I see how it is.

I'm not sure. In the first 6-8 months I had it, I had it fall flat on its face (even shut off for a few seconds) when it spun much less and got a lot less sideways than it did today. If it does adapt, it may have happened much sooner with other people, it'll be 2 years in March and its only got 4800 miles on it.

See, that's the way mine was for a while, but lately it would scare the **** out of a normal person before it steps in. I raced dirt track cars, so I'm used to hanging the **** end out to the right, but someone unfamiliar would have **** bricks with what it did today.

Huh?? The traction system is a B****, she won't let you do anything fun. There's no getting sideways without it kicking in and shutting you down.

I'm sorry Lee. I'll see how it is soon enough.
In my old slow GT I have to disable it for fear of it not playing nice with the supercharger and tune. My biggest fear is the wife driving the car and forgetting to turn it off and then getting on it and something bad happening.

Don't know if you read it but I had something weird happen a few months ago.
I posted it here.

It didn't just spin wildly and bounce off the limiter like it does in 1st, but it was spinning a LOT. The TC or AdvanceTrac never kicked in at all. I short shifted into 3rd at about 5K rpm and stayed in it full throttle.
Just wondering if it has adapted to my driving style and gives more lenience before it steps in, or if something is wrong with it (after that instance a few months ago where it hung up in 1st and the brakes were still pulsing even after I let off and I thought I broke something or it had a stuck caliper).

I thought about stuff like that when I was thinking about putting a blower on the SGT.

I'm still writing my paper. Started and finished a different paper earlier tonight. I seriously hate having to cite sources with every single sentence. 
Doesn't help that I have 2.5 pages of sources. Think the bibliography is gonna be longer than my actual paper.
