^ditto this. I have got into the habit of holding the button/using DSC off all the time. I prefer the linear throttle, need the help ADB provides since no LSD yet, and still have burbles. I haven't taken the car through winter yet but in the dry there's really no need for nannies unless your driving entirely way too fast on public roads or are tracking

To inject some advanced observations into this, I have 2 questions. First, what is the difference between engine mapping? I can't tell a difference between sport+ and DSC off. Second, I know shift speed is reduced one unit in DSC off, but I'm finding it hard to tell if there is a difference with XHP s3. I think there still is, but with linear vs sport+ throttle it makes it hard to tell. It's pretty easy to induce shift brap (timing retard?) in either mode. Sport+ seems to shift faster but I'm not sure if it's due to the throttle curve
