"One problem we found with the car's dynamics is in the programming of the electronic throttle. Touch the brakes at full throttle and the engine practically shuts down. This keeps advanced drivers from using proper left foot braking techniques and keeps advanced hot dogs from doing big-burn-holes-in-the-asphalt burnouts. We only achieved this month's cover shot by unplugging the brake light switch."

so is it better to unplug?

 

I'm sure the drivers behind you will love that, so will insurance companies when you get rear ended.

 

i thought they were talking about the upper mounted brake light switch

 

The brake light fuse can be taken out too, if u are at the track, but if infact the switch unplugged will do the same, there is no reason that a switch couldnt be wired in to activate/deactivate it.

 

AFAIK, you need working work lights at all track events... so, if you decide to remove the BRAKE LAMP FUSE, or wire a switch on this signal to the ECU, you'll still need to somehow provide working brake lights. I'm sure it's easily accomplished by running a new wire directly to the brake lights.

so yeah, it is better to unplug as long as you still provide working brake lights, whether on the street or on the track.
