Traction control?
Hey guys, just wondering about the traction control on my 2003 GT... Not that I really want to abuse my car or anything but is it really hard to break the wheels or is it me? Just wondering, I'm new to this whole traction control thing...

This may be a dumb question but, thee light on means its off right, since the button says T/C OFF?

RE: Traction control?
okay, here's another question I just bought it a few days ago and I was in a parking lot turning into a parking spot and heard a rubbing sound coming from the rear end, I thought that maybe it was coming from the T/C system because I pushed the button a few times and thats when the noise showed up after driving a while... FORD told me that in the heat it may make a rubbing sound... Are they feeding me a pile of s*** or is that possibly what its coming from... Yesterday I didn't push the button at all and I didn't notice the same rubbing sound, and also this morning it didn't make the sound when I brought it to Ford...

If you dont ever get on it, then dont worry bout it..but if u love that feeling of being set back in your seat, turn it off
