Hoonability!

deanobeano · 15-06-2013, 06:52 PM

Had a pleasant day.

Left Home approx 5.15 AM for a run to the Coed Y Brenin Forest in Wales to check my mom's place out (she's on holiday), mow the lawn etc.

The road M54, A5 and then through Welshpool to Dolgellau can be a good road when Plod is still asleep...

Great run out there this morning, no traffic about and a Hooning was had!

Now, can someone confirm SMG and DSC settings in order of Hoonability?

S5 and manual setting DSC on
S5 and manual M track mode on, DSC on
S5 and manual M track mode on, DSC off (is this S6?)

Finally, is there just one setting for DSC, ie on or off? no hold button to set totally off?

Hoonabilty - the word of the day! Had a great run there, despite the dampness.

NO

Its DSC OFF S6 SPORT ON GIVES YOU S6
I would say the best way on any road is S5 SPORT ON leave the traction fully on that way the car has more chance of staying on the black stuff

The M5 at that time of the morning should take you all of 15mins to get to the 'Dobbies' roundabout at the A5 re-start, that's a nice road when Plods not about.

The 2 Fingured Salute "DSC OFF/Spot on", and just listen to the sounds of the Countryside!
