I'd be interested to know if anyone running at 3COM in a BMW/Lexus/Vette/Audi/Porsche etc. left their traction control turned on? Did it help? - I'm curious about exactly when TC starts to become use

I can speak for 4th gen Camaros and 5th gen Corvettes and say that ABS is always A Good Thing (well, there's a specific bug with the f-body ABS, but still) and traction control is always A Bad Thing

If I had traction control on my car I would definitely give it a try on Sunday. Ochi's best run was the one where he accidentally left his traction control on. I think snow chains wouldn't hurt eithe

Yeah, I would have done better in my Tundra than the M3 too :). It has backseats, so it should be SM legal. --Navid i am sure i would have cut a faster time in my street tired probe GT than my cobra.

Nope - wasn't me driving! Katie forgot to turn off the traction control on her first run, and got something like a 46.xxx. A long time ago at a rainy event up at Mather, I turned on the traction cont

Have you ever seen that BMW ad where start with a teal E36 without traction control going down an icy road. It's tail wags wildly and eventually the driver loses it, then comes a car with traction c

On my 1997 BMW 328i traction control makes the car extremely stable in the rain, but interferes with the throttle too much on corner exit. I got a ride Sunday in an A4 Avant Quattro, which has no tra

Did the avant have Audi's ESP system? (Which does independent wheel braking, and is meant to be really good in the snow/crappy road conditions, but I haven't had a chance to test it yet). I think its

I accidentally left the TC on on my first run (sadly my best run) and could only do a 46.xxx plus a cone. It was the right thing to do, only because I spun out on my other two runs without even tryin

Under most conditions and on most cars TC is useless for autocrossing. Rob Luis, Josh Sirota and I had "experimented" with my old M3 (OK we forgot to switch it off on few occasions :-)) and on a dry
