Default traction control

why do most of you guys turn off traction control?
i understand to turn it off when buringout but why turn it off for just daily driving?

Well, those who have tuners can choose to permanently have it turned of...however I just turn it off everytime i get in my car when its not raining. The reason i do it because sometimes you need to drive agressively during times, when some fawks don't wanna let you merge into a lane or whatever and if you mash the gas sometimes my car will tend to brake the tires lose and if i have my traction control on, it will make my car bog.

I had mine turned off by my tuner so it won't come on at all now. The reason I did this was I got tired of pushing the button, I would forget all the time, and whenever TC did kick it, it never made things any better for me.. just worse.

traction control is to imports, as breaking your tire loose is to american muscle.
