Sport + mode

So I realized Sport+ mode + paddle shifters + the traction control off is pretty impossible in the FWD model. I'm geeked to see what this all feels like on the SH model. Tried it for the first time couple of days ago and the tires can't even catch grip and I barely touched the gas. I can only imagine how fun(in a safe environment) this is. Sport + mode is fun as hell all on it's own.

It would be nice if the PAWS V6 TLX had the same LSD as the Civic Type R. Then we'd be talking. That thing is freakish at how well it does launching in a straight line.

In any case, the solution is SH-AWD. No torque steer, just linear application of power to the tires/wheels.

Even with TCS on, it's a tough fight to get traction with the 3.5 PAWS under aggressive throttle.

Once up to speed, Sport+ mode has served me well.

That said, I will likely move in from the stock Potenzas as soon as possible.
