Has anyone figured out how to left foot brake without their Si going into limp mode?

I do it at the track sometimes. Maybe turning off traction control completely helps.

Going to try it right now. Will report back with results
Nice to see someone is able to use the search. Many others would ask, "whats the pedal dance". The OP obviously either already knew what it was or searched for it.

That being said....putting additional load on the driveline to build boost before launching(I presume that is the goal here), seems like a not great idea on the stock clutch. I think a lesser evil would be setting launch mode with a tuner to hold revs around 2.7-3.3k... but I could be wrong, that might be worse.

In any case, I look forward to reading OP results.

So I didn't want to respond until I was confident I had thorough results. Learning to turn traction control off was a process in and of itself. It seems that yes, you can left foot brake with traction control turned off.
