You're not leaving a huge cloud of anything except clutch smoke unless you tied your car to a telephone pole. 106hp and even the shittiest tires don't exert plumes of smoke even if you dump the clutch at redline. Good luck getting warranty work done on it too with intentionally missing fuses. But hey, shit don't matter to you.

That said, I find it hilarious that a car a sneeze away from double-digit hp needs traction control. Glad I got the '09. Yes to ABS, pass to TC.

What would the benefits be for turning off the TC? Thanks.

obviously you have absolutely no idea what a emergency brake is. You really should figure that one out, they are kinda important.

E-brake is failsauce, it doesn't even hold the wheels.

Yes, I have an awesome idea what an e-brake is. Seeing how mine is a manual, I use it every day. And using it for anything other than holding the car still results in beeping from the dash because it sucks at holding back even the small amount of power a Yaris engine produces.

Yeah. They are important. I'm sure using it for burnouts is top priority.
