Question Retrofit Electronic Traction Control?

Is it possible to install the factory Electronic Traction Control in a 1998 Camaro SS that didn't have it from the factory? The car will be a daily driver here in Colorado. I'vedone several searchs and so far haven't found anything of use.

Personally, I say "don't bother". Lots of us would
like to remove it (without the annoying dash light)
and in my limited snow-driving experience it was
totally worthless for that.

you need the module under the dash, a 4 channel ABS module, a 4 channel rearend, and wiring harnesses for the TCS vehicle.

The best bet woudl be to find somebody parting out one of these cars if you want this function. Personally, my right foot is a good traction control module.

Id say it hurts you more than it helps you, I got stuck in the snow once and when id get the car to start moving again it would cut the power and the car would rollback into the same groove I was stuck in. The only way I could see it saving you is if your stupid enough to give it gas going around a turn on a snowy road.
