So, tonight I drove down Stunt Rd from Saddle Peak Rd to Gelson's in Calabasas to p/u a few filets for dinner. Stunt Rd. is god's gift, a racetrack, a bumpy racetrack, but a fantastic road to drive. A road I have driven a 1,000 times. I usually always turn off the TC because on rougher roads as it slows me down. For our non CA. residents, in the Malibu/Topanga/Calabasas area almost all the back roads suffer from a lack of maintenance, land movement so they tend to be bumpy and an uneven but oddly smooth feeling at the same time. it comes and goes. It can catch you out if you aren't paying attention.

So I forgot tonight to turn off the TC, I am driving down the hill as usual, hit 140 mph or so going into a turn as normal and the TC decides to kick in for no reason and I cannot control the understeer and slide out into the opposite lane and almost hit a RR.

Normally what i find is if you brake first before the corner and then stay in the gas thru a corner with the tc off, the front bites and the car rotates thru the turn.....the opposite seems to happen with tc on. Any feedback?

Can you turn it off permanently? A Gallardo doesn't generate enough torque to warrant a tc system imho.

 

I'm guessing that's something You would have to change in the ECU, as I have never seen that done before, trying Calling your Dealer.

 

It's a button... switch it off, not hard to do
