Anyone actually use their drift analyzer?

I did soon after break in and it was a big fail for me. I guess my tires were too sticky or I'm just not good at doing donuts because it wasn't nearly as spectacular as what I've seen on YouTube. I managed a 4 star 56 yd drift at 28.1 degrees. Conditions were dry and the tires were hot from a few laps. I'm going to try again when my Cup2 Connects are almost dust, and maybe let them cool.

What were the 10 step traction settings at? I would have wanted this package for those settings, not the other stuff.

Hmmmm I don't remember. Maybe it was set too high? I had DSC off though.

I took the car into 4WD Sport mode within 200 miles of getting it. It was on summer tires in winter since winter tires were just on their way. Anyway, it slid in a way that I could control but wasn't expecting, and I somehow lost appetite for that.

The car's never seen 2WD mode, and needless to say there is no history on the 10-stage traction control. The stars need to align as follows for me to try it:
- wide open tarmac where no one's going to complain
- tires that I'm getting rid of as they're past their best life for the roads

I want to believe I'll eventually use it. But there are many things in my "someday" bucket that never have much urgency.

I've used it. It took me a while to realise the 0 under the sliding icon is the level of the 10 stage TC - I.e. 0 means DSC completely off.

This was on a wet skidpan.
