What types of traction control are you talking about? There are a lot of
ways to do it.. Are you talking about manual systems that try to apply
the brakes or power limiting types that just reduce the output of the
engine if there is a lot of slip. I know these are very unreliable
because most major auto makers offer them to the public to drive on the
road by little old ladies.. If this type is illegal I think we should
not allow automatic transmissions either , if you can't shift a stick go
home.. LOL
I think it is called progress.. but for me I don't think I would ever
want anything applying the brakes but me. limiting the power i would be
game for though if the car did not hook up.
