Proper use of your clutch with the VSA off should wield the better time. You can accelerate faster if you have slicks or some other drag racing type tire.

I thought VSA was stability control, not traction control. I'm not sure you need cornering stability when going in a straight line...

Or does it hinder acceleration too?

VSA limits tire spin to 5500rpms.
