Ark Posted September 12, 2006 Share Posted September 12, 2006 Stock TC is awesome! /vbb/images/smilies/bbcode_cool.gif I know that comment goes somewhat against the commonly accepted view here, but hear me out. I did a whole day of driver training yesterday - slaloms, hairpins, fast and slow cornering, grip circles, the works. Most disciplines I tried with and without the stock TC switched on, and it made a trivial difference... Finally we got to string all the skills together on a sprint circuit. 4 runs, 2 of which I did with TC, 2 without TC. Guess which 2 were faster. I'm talking properly faster too, like several seconds out of a sub-60 second course. Turns out the TC is VERY well tuned for helping you when you're really blitzing the car, but possibly not for those times when you drive like a twat, with full boost in the wet. Last note: I've got a factlift model, which has "snow" mode, as well as TC on/off. Maybe Toyota tuned the system up a bit, even though I keep hearing the same system described as "dangerous".
