Default Traction control???

Does the traction control on a4 vettes essentially do same thing as on a4 fbodies? On my TA i can tell when the traction control kicks in because its damn near like hitting thr breaks with the loss of power. On my vette i can't feel anything versus having it off. Maybe a slight bit of wheels spin, is my system functioning properly?

It doesn't sound like it's working properly. My 2003 hits like a brick wall when it's on. If your the second owner someone may of tunned it down from hitting so hard. Another word detune it from 100% active to say 50% or even less. I had a tuner once do this and I didn't care for it. If I'm going to turn it off I want the choice to be able too and not have it permanently set too. I'd rather have it on until I decide, for safety on the street.

Sounds like someone messed with the tune on your car.

on a vette its fly by wire and you will not feel the pedal kick back,. It still pulls the throttle shut, but you will not feel it in your foot. just a FYI
