I've had this question as well. The manual says DTC is only for driving in deep snow, but then I hear some folks say that they use DTC for sporting purposes. For that I do the 5-sec hold down and get the no traction control setting. can anyone talk to the value of DTC for anything other than deep snow?

drifting? burnouts?

basically pressing it once allows some forward wheel spin but traction control will still take over on lateral movement. Holding it for 5 seconds disables everything. However you have to restart the car to turn it back on.

I never turn any of it off. They put the DTC on there for a reason lol
