To VSA or Not to VSA? That is the question.

I'm a little confused about the VSA feature in my '01. I understand it's purpose and I have witnessed some of it's funtionality durring a drive in fairly dep snow. What I'm confused about is if I'm drag racing, do I want it on or off? My Falken's that are on the car get pretty good traction either way on dry pavement and I can't really tell a diffence with it on or off. It's my understanding that it's much more sophisticated than just simple traction control traction control. Can someone clairify?

u want it off, esp off the line. tire spinning will cause VSA to decrease throttle and i think in extreme cases to even apply braking but im not sure on that one.

Off

VSA will cut the throttle if it detects the slightest wheel slip.

Definitely turned off.

Unless I'm driving on the highway or in the snow, I always turn VSA off.
