Full traction on would be way too inhibiting and probably would be running as slow as the 550x (small poke intended!). With all the barriers at the Glen I really did not want to run full off and did not want to pay for any damages to the Glen or to my car.

That being said, MDM can get you sideways. I was sideways with oversteer going out of turn 12 onto the front straight but able to recover. It really is a mode that allows you to play but saves you when you are a total moron.

@AGS: Lime Rock will be fun, but the guys made fun of it calling it an autocross track. You may not see the separation i saw at the Glen because it's a lot smaller, but you will have a blast nonetheless.
Thanks! Yes, MDM is fantastic. I agree with your statements having run the car on the track at 2-day M school
