When you press and hold the DSC button the complete system is shut off.
By pressing the button and releasing it, you remain in DTC.

I used to be able to spin so much that I had to drive well to get a good time. After 20.01.00, my car lost its spinability. So, now, to get good times, it is just point and shoot for me. I think I am better off on average, but that my ability to do an exceptional pass now is more limited.
Press DTC and hold until the triangles show up in your instrument cluster to turn all the nannies off as much as possible. You may have retarded software too.

the new 525s have 3.0litre engines and 215horsepower with 185torque... it should have enough power to do SOME slippage... lol

That's the great thing about the 4wd - you can put down masses more power than a 525 can deliver without getting wheelspin.
really spooky trying loads of welly off the line even in snow.
Leave the burning rubber to drift racers and boy racers

Why waste rubber?
I've got RFT sport tires and try to avoid taking the nannies off, so the tires last at least 10K.
