You can turn the TC off, but not the ESP. If you want to do a burn-out turn TC off. Leave it on or off for drag racing, depending on how you launch, because if you spin and it kick in you will kill your time because it slows down the gas
The owners manual says that you can turn the ESP (Electronic Stability Program) off/on, not the traction control.
