There are 3 modes. DSC, DTC, and completely off. Our cars aren't like GM/Mercedes cars where "off" just means "less intrusive." Off is really off. If you were in DTC mode (a quick press of the button), you still wouldn't be able to accelerate much at all without the system kicking in. Want proof? Try and do a burnout in DSC or DTC mode. The front wheels would be stationary and rear spinning (like on the dyno), albeit only one wheel is spinning. Torque would be cut and brakes applied within a second in either mode.
I think it has something to do with the transmission or the way they performed the dyno. Maybe the auto was wanting to kick down gears?
