Default Traction Control Active on new '03

Uh,what the $#%! With 500 miles on the odometer, I pushed the pedal to the floor and rowed through some gears...OH MY GOD! Is my car OK? Traction Control came on twice! And I was going straight. Should I take it back to the dealer or what? :eek:

uh, no....

Try turning it off next time you plan on flogging on it - so the tires can spin without the computer trying to bust your bellz!

Make sure you can control the spin.................. :seeya

mike,
read the manual.............. :yesnod:
Put the car in Competetion Mode.....do not drive it with the AH/TC in the total OFF position......until YOU are sure you can handle it.......
Even then, I do not reccommend doing so.......... :blueangel:

I say that is UNACCEPABLE. What you need to do is to take an old thick blanket and jam it into the intake and always start in 3rd.

:D
Congrates Sir!

Take it back to the dealer ASAP and get back in your 2000 A4 Coupe, cause your not ready for a Z06. LOL :) :D
Its only going to get stronger with a few more miles and mods. Enjoy the ride and leave TC & AH on. :cheers:
