[Euro] Does your Euro accelerate quicker with VSA off?

I'm not saying VSA being OFF gives you extra power, I'm saying VSA when ON can sometimes limit the electronic throttle.

Plus I'm referring to no wheelspinning or noise or anything, just clean acceleration.


@Chris-F, its possible the VSA light flashes briefly but i've never noticed it come on. Maybe its coming on for like 1ms and the bulb didnt get a chance to light up. And as we all know, the electronic throttle can delay for almost one second at times, so even a 1ms VSA throttle disturbance could greatly affect acceleration performance.



Maybe my Yoko tyres are slightly slipping during hard acceleration? :confused:
The problem may be solved by simply using different tyres..

I think you have answered the poll question right there... :) Turning off VSA does not release 10 or 20kw. All you are noticing is traction control with VSA ON that activates over poor roads.

I've been experiementing with VSA off again lately while the weather has been nice and sunny in Sydney and I personally feel the car is a bit more responsive and doesn't feel as limited or sluggish when VSA is on.

I certainly think that with VSA on it does limit how much acceleration is put into the wheel prevent them from spinning madly..

my few cents.. :]

i dont know about it increasing power but what i have noticed was the acceleration is more aggressive... feels like aslo as if the clutch is more clicky as in terms as it sticks in faster....

i cant say its any faster but hell it feels more fun driving without it lol... as VSA makes the ride so much smoother in transitions of gears...
