So I'm playing around with the PTM settings, trying to do a sitting burnout. I tried this process in all 5 TPM modes and tall 3 drive modes with the same results.

1. M, 1st gear, sitting still, press brake lightly, press gas to burn out.
2. Back tires spin for a split-second, then the back end hops once or twice, and then rpms drop to about 2000 steady and the car doesnt move or tires spin until I let completely off the brake.
3. No outstanding issues with the car

so, dumb question, how do I burn out? LOL I never thought I would be asking this question.

Alright its figured out. Its not just turning off TCS. you have to hold the button for a few seconds until stabilitrack turns off, there is another light in the far right corner that comes on. I think in track mode, trying to do a drag burnout, the car maybe thinks I want launch control?

So I was able to burn out from my garage to the mailbox, mailbox through the neighborhood to the highway, highway to walmart to pick up some bike oil, walmart to work. Security guards giving me the stink eye as I pull in with a cloud of smoke.
