[QUOTE="Iamchris, post: 14304630, member: 21687"] The traction control in these cars is not a performance feature, it is a safety feature. In my experience, I have found that it activates extremely easily and often over compensates. If you give it too much throttle in any gear it tends to kill power so aggressively that you get whiplash and damn near backfire. If the car detects any side to side movement it does the same. As some above have said, you can tune it off. I still have mine, even though my car is a sunday driver. My last car rolled in the rain, it may not have happened if I had traction control on, but I was in the habit of turning it off whenever I drove... I even did it in the rain. In the Cobra now, I turn it off before I drive aggressively. Every now and then I forget and as I start to get on it the car starts bogging. I would rather that though than not having it there when I need it. Like I said, it is a safety feature. For daily use it is fine, but if you want to play then just turn it off. [/QUOTE]
