yes i can turn it off. it's a little button under the cd player (mach 460 sound system) on the bottom panel.
so it's not a good idea to hold the brakes and get a few rpms going first? and should i start out in 1st and manually shift, or just let it do it's thing?
ps: actually, i think traction control takes over the throttle, not the brakes. but judging from my knowledge, i could be wrong
