i just got a stang and i noticed the nice little trac button in the middle of and dash and i wanted to know exactly what it does? It's Automatic

 

With traction control on it prevents the wheels from spinning too much by applying some brake when spinning the tires. With it off smoke em if you got em and have fun.

 

the other day i was on an empty parking lot and i tried doing a donut but bout half way the car caught grip. Would it have worked better with the trac off? There were 3 ppl in the car, so a lot of weight i dunno if dat would make a difference.

 

With it off the car will not try and stop the tires from spinning. It will let you do whatever you want.

 

yes it would have worked better, traction control is exactly what it says, its used mainly for when it rains etc. it helps you regain traction.

 

ok thanks

 

Leave it on, you never know when you might need it, if someone else does something stupid etc.

 

wtf, turn it off. trac control is a dangerous idea. if it is on and you need to accel real quick to avoid something, your car ill bog down and you lose power to the drive wheel. im glad my car is not equipped with traction control. trac control is always on when you start the car, turn it off when you get in the car and leave it on in rain/snow

 

I thought all new vehicles had traction-control, but most had to be turned off by a tuner.

 

true but the 04 model mustang came with the ability to turn it on or off
