Well as you can see from the graphs... most of the power is coming after 4,000rpm.

I don't see why would you be driving at more that 4,000rpm on a slippery / wet road.

That is of course if you are not me...

We have 8-9 months of rain a year over here... and I just loved to push the car under the rain...
If you do it safely driving on such conditions can teach you a lot about the dynamics of your car.

Sometimes I even disengage the Trac Control / VSC and the ABS from my car.

that is some funny stuff! Is hard to learn how to control the car with all the electronic gadgets.

But for every day driving conditions, Trac Control / VSC / ABS are the best of the best!!! Safety wise Toyota did a great job on this little car.

You can switch off the TRC and VCS without remove the fuse. The ABS is then still working.
It's a trick I've learnt from Yaris Palme, a gadget stock built in by Toyota.
