RE: TC on wet roads is a MUST!!!
TCS is a joke in our mustangs. I lost control doing a left turn at an intersection. Good thing there weren't any curbs or polls cause I ended up on the grass.I have to be more careful next time.

First hand knowledge on how much power + wet road = FUBAR..
I totaled my 05 GT on April 14th 2007. Wet roads, 24K miles on the tires, non hooked floor mat... WHAM...
Here's a teaser pic.
The full damage is here:

Luckily in 5 days I got myself a new new 07 GT.

Be careful out there.

RE: TC on wet roads is a MUST!!!
here in SoCal we don't know what wet roads are!
If it ever does rain again there will be many, many crashes!
I just took my umbrella out of my car's trunk today. No sense having it in there until this drought ends... like maybe sometime next winter?

The TC works very nicely. It isn't a miracle worker or cure all for being stupid. You still have to drive with at least an ounce of sense.

RE: TC on wet roads is a MUST!!!
Its always been my contention that you should test your cars capabilities in inclement conditions by pushing it to the point of loss of control... in a safe location of course. This "practice" will prepare you for the unexpected when it happens. A little fishtailing away from traffic looks like reclessness but is valuable training.
