Ok well i was one of those people who found it pointless...then one day when it was off and I was on DRY pavement I ended up almost doing a 180* into a gaurdrail just going around someone....and then another day when it was ON it was raining..I was in 5th gear at 55 mph and accelerating slowly (obviously) merging into traffic and suddenly the traction control kicked in...if i didnt have traction control I am pretty sure I would have started to spin around...which was in an instant and unexpected being I was accelerating so damn slowly with BRAND NEW tires....so tractions control is a good thing no matter what ANYBODY says...when you are performance driving then it is not...and when you are trying to take off in the snow (if you drive in the snow) it is not...but just normal driving situations when you would NEVER think you would need traction control....that is when it SAVES YOUR ***

Thanks, but that's not an option. I like the tcs to be there when i need it.

When you least expect it...

There's this stuff that falls from the sky called "rain" and, if the conditions are right, sometimes "snow"

You shouldn't post pics of your little sister, she isn't here to defend herself.

I have driven in horrid thunderstorms with no problems. If you drive a camaro in the snow, you have problems.

Traction control benefits people who treat their gas pedal like an on/off switch. It also helps people who lack the experience to predict and adjust to changing road conditions. Considering how often people get caught up in cell phone conversations, visual diversions, looking for a CD, et... it can possibly help by catching something when you're not paying attention.

From my experience, it has nearly caused several accidents while saving none. By the time it kicks in, it has already allowed the back of the car to slide to one side or the other enough that does not prevent losing traction... it fights against a smooth recovery by immediately killing the throttle. It would be a better system in my opinion if it would smoothly decrease throttle instead of the sudden let off.

When the car is on snow or ice, it allows the wheels to spin quite a bit before it engages which means you get zero traction from a dead stop. I start out in second or even third gear to reduce the torque through the gearbox and have far less problems.

I would personally not order a car with TCS if I had the choice though I would not refuse to buy one if it came with it. I'd just shut it off every time I get in like I do now.

pull the fuse = no more hitting that F-in switch everytime you turn the key.

I hate it!! Try pulling out in traffic at the last minute and spin your tires a little, you're left like a sitting duck with cars barreling towards you---and you hit the throttle again, and the damn TCS is engaged. It happened to me once, and I'll never drive with it on again!
