Autocross questions

Hey autox guys.

I've been racing with the SCCA for about 5 years now, and this will be my first year with the 370. I have a question about the traction control.

In my E36 M3, the traction control shut the throttle partially and applied brakes to the rear, so it was extremely intrusive. Plus it had a clutch-type LSD in the back. Now with the base model Z, it's got an open diff, but I haven't had a chance to test out the traction control.

Do any of the base model guys normally run with it turned off, or do you leave it on?

It is extremely intrusive, I don't see how you could possibly run auto-x with it turned off even in a base. It will kill the throttle and takes a long time to recover (restore throttle).
