That traction control really helps. In fact sometimes when I don't want it to.

Note: I have no experience w/ my Mustang in snow, it's stored for the winter. I am referencing the TCS on my 08 F-250. Same thing in theory I would assume.

I did not know that. I have a Diablo for my F250 and I don't recall having the option to disable the TCS. Is it different for the mustang Diablo's?

I have been driving my V6 in the snow we have been getting in MN. I wont lie and say that it is worse than my moms Acura TL even with the snow tires but it is definitely fine. Just have to be careful and cant expect to run and gun it. Sometimes I like the traction control since it keeps the back from sliding side to side but otherwise I hate it since if I actually have to use the gas i cant!
