you cant put her on dyno mood she's a smart car when you want to dyno you jump on the dyno and automatically she shifts to dyno mood there is one way though if you have someone play around the esp and switches it off through star diagnoses system for the track day and then puts it back on normal mood

I wouldn't suggest running a car with that kind of power/trq down the strip in "dyno mode".....why not just turn off ESP and let it roll? Just a question.....to each their own

It is my understanding that pushing the the button to turn ESP off doesn't completely turn ESP off. I wouldn't suggest doing dyno mode on the strip unless you are running drag radials or slicks. Otherwise, it wouldn't be a worthwile endeavor as you spin for the first couple of hundred feet.

It doesn't, that's my point. It'll let you spin, but not uncontrollably. I prefer to have some safety mechanisms turned "on" when trapping 12 sec ET's at over 110mph....especially when leaving them on has no effect on the cars performance. Not to mention a stock 600 on a well prepped track shouldn't experience much, if any, wheel spin.....unless you're out for the John Force 3k RPM launch
