RE: traction control question
Traction control was an option in 1999 and 2000. I have it. I don't find it to be a problem. It takes no time at all to turn it off using the button. Can traction control save you in the winter? No. There appears to be a delay from the time you start to spin to when it kicks in. If you're alreay sideways and don't know how to drive, then you're already screwed. On ice this winter I used the spinning wheels light as an indicator for myself to ease off. Each to his own. Some like it, some don't but I definitely want it there for when my wife drives my car.

Niether of my 99's had TC. If they did, it would have been turned off with a tuner asap. I don't have snow here, and I drive slow in the rain, soit is not needed in the least bit.

RE: traction control question
i dont have t/c...but stangs with t/c- its not really that it makes your car slower, it just holds you back under acceleration..it doesn't let all the power to the wheels...some people need t/c lol
