Default Traction Control??

i am wondering if all camaros at least with automatic transmissions come with Traction Control, i dont have ABS and i was just wondering before i spend the money on a traction control reversal module. i am just wondering if this kicks on when you stomp the pedal from a dead stop.

If you don't have a TCS button, then you don't have it. It's pretty easy to tell if it's on a car, stomp the gas and see what happens....

thats what i figured but i just wanted to make sure thanks for the help. my car doesnt die at all when i stomp the gas but it doesnt really do a burnout either, i guess automatic transmissions dont really do good burnouts.

Explain not having ABS? I've never seen a LS1 F-body without ABS.

above the headunit there should be a foglight button and a ASR (traction control) button. easiest way to check if u have abs..and i think everyone does, is to look at your brake pedal, it should say ABS in huge letters.

Get a stalled converter in it, and you will see how easily automatics do burn outs.

brake torquing, still need to be wet to get some spin.. and i dont mind it. after driving my v8 dakota for a few years, it would never get traction in 1st or 2nd. the camaro just hooks and goes, me like after a higher stall i can imagine smokey burnouts though

If you don't have the TCS button, then you don't have traction control.

And stomping on the pedal of an A4 may not always roast them the best. Put it in first gear and try it. Or brake-torque it up a bit, then let off the brake and slam the gas. It WILL roast them.
