Disadvantage- poor acceleration
Advantage- if you can't drive it keeps you from spinning off the road

I accidentially left my traction control on while at the track... ran a 17.0 in the 1/4 compared to 13.80 with it off.. Big difference

Traction control is also helpful if you're forced to drive your car during the snowy months.
