Does anyone know how much, if any, does the traction control effect the quarter mile time & speed? If you make a run with it turned off vs turned on.

For me, off is a bit faster, approx .25 in the 1/8.

Thanks for your info. I just ran my G8 at the strip and consistently got 14.2's at 99.6 mph. There was a direct 10 mph headwind. I ran the car in sport mode, a/c off, power braked to about 1200 rpm and punched it at the last yellow light, but I forgot to turn off the traction control, which I guess is the same as the stability control, is it not?

Yes, it is the same.
