I always keep it on. Keeps me safe when I'm not driving so.

I've thought about this as well and I've come up with two scenarios that would require the trac control to be off.

1st when you acting a fool and want to peel out. Recommended? no! fun? hell yes. One should really drive at all times with trac control on.

2nd If your stuck in snow or ice and need to rock the car back and forth to free your self you will need a little wheel slip to accomplish this.

Anyone else up north want to confirm this theory? Before you ask why a south Floridian would think about snow, I grew up in Chicago and lived there until about 4 years ago. I'm also moving back in 2 weeks, so I know snow.

So in the snow when you try to get moving it kills the un-needed power to the wheels so you can get moving as fast as possible.

I turn it off for 2 things
1. burnouts at the strip
2. Have fun in the snow
