Stability and traction control questions
The ISF is on my short list. My questions are regarding the electro-nannies. The car will be a DD, but will be tracked at HPDEs and open lapping days. I'll probably run a few autoXs. I don't want to buy a car with highly intrusive controls, like the Golf R. The stability control system can't be turned off and it's extremely intrusive, especially when aggressively autoXed. I know the Golf R isn't comparable to the ISF, I'm using it as an example.
About the ISF electro-nannies...
Are the vehicle stability control and/or traction control systems able to be turned off completely? If not...
What modes are available and what do they allow and not allow?
Will any of the modes allow moderate wheel spin on acceleration or do the electro-nannies kick in at the slightest sign of wheel spin?
Are burn-outs possible?
On the track, if the rear end starts to drift out, what happens? Is the throttle still live, or does the system take over and kill the throttle?
Can the car be thrown into an all out power slide or drift?
Thank you.

Thanks for the info. Nice to know the control systems can be shut off, really shut off. I think the ISF just went to the top of my list.
I'm looking at 2011s, LSD and suspension tweaks being the main reasons. Hard to find these cars without the ML audio and Nav package.
