It guaranteed that you'll be the fastest with all the help turned on but lets face it, who are you really racing? Essentially we're out there getting our jollies.

When track day finally does come, I'll take a few laps with it all on, then go to MDM+Sport Plus+Sport to do some real learning. But in the canyons.. full DSC, but Sport EDC, Sport power. To cruise the strip... FULL POWER. haha, more just for flicking the gas in neutral.
One instructor I had, would make me do cool down laps every session w/o touching the brakes. That was probably one of the best lessons I learned on how to modulate the gas and learn entry/exit speed(not that I'm good or anything).

So no MDM for you on backroads...hmm. What exactly was your reasoning for this? Didn't you feel that with DSC on you couldn't really get on the car much?
