[QUOTE="Whitten, post: 3657364, member: 9948"] I just don't see how Ford could allow something as simple as a TBW to hold their cars back. After reading what Jeff said about his wife's x-type I really wonder if they have gotten the technolgy down pat yet or if they are still working the kinks out. GM has had it on the vette since 97' and I have never noticed a problem with it nor have I heard much in the complaint department. If what people are saying about Ford's TBW system is true then there needs to be something done. The computer doesn't need to be just closing the throttle at the first sign of wheel spin, most traction control systems do a little more then that. Sometimes you need to be able to pull out quickly and not have to worry about lag in the system and you shouldn't have to take off traction control to do it. Not to mention the fact that a delay under normal conditions is unacceptable to me no matter what the reason. They may be trying to protect their cars from being ragged but that is honestly not their job...it is up to the owner. Since when did sports cars have to come with training wheels that you can't take off? [/QUOTE]
