traction control
That depends on you, If you are a lil throttle happy with it off you will blow the tires off, if you arent you will bog. With it on you can leave out hard and dont have to worry about blowing the tires off when you leave. Most people that I know that have played with there cars enough to know that happy medium dont use it. I have seen a T/A loose street race when it was used and then win without it. Its normally just driver skill depends on if its is better to use or not use. My $0.02
My 98 did come with the asc button, but I noticed when i installed a cd player, that a hook up wire if hanging free, maybe fo the asc buttton. So, If a get a asc button and connect the free wire, will a deactiveate asc?

If you want decent track times, don't race with it on. You can overpower it even when it's turned on, but the car will still fight you on take-off.

are you saying that you dont have the ASR button, but during a recent stereo install you noticed that there are some wires behind the dash, posibly wires for the ASR system? if thats what your asking then No, simply getting an ASR button/switch and hooking it up to the wires will not give you tracation control. there is more to it than that.

i read a magazine article where they ran a 13.5 with a stock 98 transam A4 3.23's with over 100000 miles on it. They were only able to get that good of a time with the traction control on. My opinion is that it cant hurt to try it atleast once!

This thread begs a question I've wondered for a while. Has anybody ever tried to tweak the programming of the traction control systems to help prevent wheelspin at launch but not affect the subsequent shifts?
