Re: Traction Control

[Dave Dahlgren <ddahlgren@snet.net>]

Most serious cars have wheel speed sensors. many have EFI. The cost is is
insignificant at that point.. Under $300 for TC so don't even start with the
money involved to have it.. It is less than the entry fee even if you just use a
slew rate rev limiter.. As long as it is just used to control the engine power
output and does not effect the brakes or throttle position I don't see the issue
at all.  A car will go faster when it is not activated for the most part in a
straight line as some slip is still desirable. It might be handy though if the
track has some slick spots on it or the driver gets a little over zealous with
the throttle though. It might even reduce tire failures as well. I consider it a
safety device more than anything. We have had catastrophic tire failures do to
excessive slip, is there a downside to possibly eliminating those things
happening??
