Default traction control

Hey i have another silly question how do you know if your car has traction control or not and if it does how do you turn it off?

Well, one of two ways. In front of your shifter there will be a button labeled "Trac"
Also, if you have one throttle cable attached to your throttle body, you have TC. Two cables and you are lucky like me and left it in Canada.

You will have a button above the radio that says "ASR" (LS1 Camaro I'm assuming), which is used to turn it off. I think the 'birds have "TCS" or something like that. Also, the throttle body will have 2 cables if you have cruise but no traction control. One cable that first goes to a small rounded box over near the battery means both.

isnt turning it off equivalent to not having it at all?
