Thanks. I'm trying to build up a little more understanding of these systems (when/where - or whether - I'd use them being distinctly separate questions).
Some of that makes sense right away, like the pulsing (keeping in mind that I don't have stability control on the car pictured in my avatar and sig, and the TC it does claim to have seems to be all but worthless).
If you don't mind trying to field another question - if you have any basis for estimating/guessing, how close does ST/TC let you get to tire grip limits in a turn before it/they start cutting engine power in a turn taken fairly enthusiastically? I do have some experience with this in my wife's car very early in our ownership of that car and felt that its stability control intervention was needlessly early. Hopefully your SS's ST isn't set quite that conservatively.
