My first run I forgot to turn off the VSC stability control. I realized as I was pulling away from start and could only manage to turn off the traction control. What a horribly frustrating excercise! Throw it into a corner and put the pedal down and the electromom kicks in and the gas goes limp.\u00c2\u00a0By contrast on my second run where I did turn all the techno dodads off, I was all over the place! Oh my, these Bridgestone Turanza tires featuring COCS (they need to get together with Easton with their CNT) are quite the squirrelmeisters! I dare say these might be worse than the Michellin &#8220;Prius&#8221; tires that all the reviewers got on their FR-S&#8217;. At least those were summer tires, these are all seasons.
