I guess I am the only one who wants to disable VSC?

    I'm with ^^. The Prius TC is just as likely to kill you as it is to save you. You should never be left without power when pulling out at a light making a right turn and accelerating. Sometimes you don't see a car that was coming, and you need to get out of the way. But the TC kicks in you're a sitting duck for that car coming... the driver likely eating a bagel or putting on their makeup.

    This isn't a problem with TC or ABS in general, it's their poor implementation in this model Prius.

    disabling can only be done on 04 and 05 models. the "dance" has never been published for post 05 models. when disabled, both trac and vsc seem to be off. there is some sort of rev limiter though.. if you do over rev it.. power goes down and it starts over.. as if trac is on... but with wheel spin.

    mileage and mods on my sig. no problems with many non vsc/trac sessions.
