Default traction control?

I did a quick search of the forum to see if I could find my answer. I didn't and don't have all night to dig...on to the question at hand. Do ALL 4th gen F-bods have traction control even though they don't have a traction control switch. My brother has a '00 S/C Z28, he has the switch, with it on you can feel the difference. I have an '02 WS6, no switch anywhere, but the car doesn't react anywhere near the way my brother's does with his switch on. I know there's a difference here since his is S/C'ed and mine isn't. Comment's, questions, answers...all apreciated.

Cars without the switch do not have traction control.

The difference you feel is that his car is supercharged and your's is not.

lol, I knew that, the feeling I was talking about was with his switch on the pedal gets stiff when you lose traction. Almost like the pedal is trying to come back up.

the pedal is trying to come back up when the T/C is on. i hate that about these cars. if a person can drive you really don't need it. it causes more problems than it's worth. just my 2 cents tho

hey its better than the mustangs. when ever there traction control engages it kinda bogs the motor down! trust me its gets super annoying. ( i know cuz my dad has a 99 s/c cobra and it comes on quite a bit when i forget to turn it off)
