how to disable Traction control on an SRT8

I just purchased an 06' Magnum SRT8 was wondering if you can disable the electronic traction control, it sucks

Press the "ESP" Button

I have pressed the ESP button, but it still limits Traction, Also if you hold the ESP Button down for 5 seconds it will say on the digital display that the ESP is disabled. I have gotten it pretty good and i can tell that the ESP is still working in some limited capacity, I know this vehicle is not going to compare to my Viper, But it would be nice to eliminate the ESP all together.

To disable it completely you can pull the fuse #17 (I think.)
I never did it so don't take my word for it.

Do some searches and ask around on these sites

Hope that helps.

Recently saw a Jeep SRT do this.

Turn the wheel 90 degrees to the right with the trans in Low 1( first ) . Turn the wheel 90 degrees to the left and with the Jeep the AWD disengaged.

Two wheel burnout which was SICK.
They don't advertise it but this guy hesitantly stated it on video.

Worth a shot.

Do Magnums and Chargers have governors?

You can't totally get rid of traction control, holding the esp button for 6 second's is the best you will get.

DO not pull fuse 17 on the mag's it will not work. Will go into limp mode if you do. Will work on the GC srt8
