That is odd people can't get traction control to stay off during their drive. I don't do the Konami pedal dance. I hold button down for 8-10s (though I think 5s works) and it stays off just fine. It's great since the car doesn't feel so locked in. Also the throttle response doesn't seem to lag as much in Normal mode with TRAC OFF.
Also surprised people can't bounce off the rev limiter. Not my preferred way of driving as it feels like wasted time/power but it's definitely possible. The Smoking Tire's video review even shows this.
IS350 F-Sport RWD ...but I don't think that matters.

Rev limiter works with AWD
I tried this out on the way in this morning. I'm in a Canadian market IS350 F-Sport AWD. Press the traction control button and hold it down. After a few seconds the orange traction control light comes on to the left of the temp gauge. I then drove it in manual shift mode and normal drive mode (ie. not sport or sport+). In second gear it bounced off the rev limiter repeatedly without shifting.
So, works with F-Sport AWD, and you don't even have to be in sport mode.

I finally received my car and broke it in!! I can confirm the limiter banging action.
Note: Full traction control off didn't work when I was moving. Pulled over, put in park and voila!

You say manual mode. Even if you do not shift does it autom
Yes it goes all the way up to red line in manual sport mode . I remember that 2007 350is does 5.1sec' to 60 without trying hard . The extra 66 pounds aren't that a big deal ,so doing low 5's high 4's ain't that really hard .
That being said the new 350is is an all around winner and I'm sure playing with the ecu with the obd controller I can shave 0.2 of a sec' without any major mods .
