Dan can I test a car with traction control although not go for any particular
record?? i have programmed this feature on many cars and it is quite safe and
does not use the brakes to accomplish the comtrol, or the throttle or anything
else that takes all final control away from the driver in any way. Basically it
just makes the engine produce less power if the wheels are spinning.
