Traction control crazy intrusive
#16
To OP... in your Lexus 4GS you cannot brake torque yourcar and launch it like other cars because our cars have what toyota calls SMART STOP technology. The purpose of this is if you ever have your accelerator pedal stuck at wide open throttle, applying the brakes will cut off engine power to safely stop a vehicle and prevent accident and death.
To confirm this technology I put the car in Park mode and rev the engine, while the engine is revving I step on the brake pedal lightly. You will immediatly see the revs drop to idle speed regardless if I floored the gas pedal. This is, really only a safety feature and really annoys me when I want to brake torque and get that tire to smoke.
