Interesting. I was under the impression it wouldn't work with PSM off.

Also, may be stating the obvious here, but it doesn't work too well on cold tires. You will get pretty severe axle tramp as the rears struggle to hook up with all kinds of slip being managed by the TC. Not very fun, good for the car, or impressive to your passenger. On hot tires on the other hand...get ready for the closest thing I'll ever experience to being shot off an aircraft carrier deck.

Haha my passenger/girlfriend said that was like a roller coaster! You really do get an awesome feeling of gravity taking over that you just cannot replicate from a rolling start.

+1 I've never been in a serious drag car before, but that's really not my thing and this is PLENTY of fun!
