Default Traction Control?

I just bought a 1998 Camaro Z28 with 93k on it, the one shown below. It does not have an ASR switch on the dash, and I was wondering if that means that it is always on or always off, and how do you like my car?




Slp Lid, Cold Air, MAF Sensor, Port And Polished T/B, Slp Loudmouth, Drilled and Slotted Rotors.

If you don't have the ASR button, then your car didn't come with traction control.....so I guess you could say it's always off.

same with my 99 Ta, only I was in heavy rain and I hit a puddle at 65 and the traction light came on the dash and I felt the abs kick in, I guess we do but we don't. I don't know. I don't have a switch either.

low trac comes on when the abs kicks in too. thats normal. doesnt mean you have traction control.

you think you have traction control? because it spins a lot? is that a typo?
