Second Gear Start is worthless. all it does is... put the car in 2nd gear from a stop.
No, I mean it has ASR.... I had a big snow storm last winter and couldn't figure out why when i floored it trying to bust through the snowdrift I lost all my power and my wheel's were not even spinning......then I remembered the stupid ASR button, I turned it off, and voila....

ASR FTL!!

ASR in my car is permanently turned off. The way it should be.

It's the embarrassment button, made to ruin perfectly good burnouts after you tell someone what you did to your engine and then proceed to bog before finally remembering to turn it off and finally spin the tires...with your ***** tucked between your legs leaving rubber, smoke, and shame.

Start roasting Tires in reverse. I have it on video, I still feel like a retard cause I pride myself in my abitly to drive.
