Ernie: Traction control is fun to play with in the rain or snow, but put one of those units on a Cobra? ............NO WAY !!
We have traction control on my wife's BMW. It's a great safty feature, and gives me peace of mind when she's driving the car in bad weather. ......But if I want to have FUN in the Bimmer, I turn the traction control OFF. Nothing worse that wanting to break the rear tires loose, flooring the gas pedal, and having the pedal pushing back against your foot telling you "too much gas!" Oh, and the "stability control unit" in the Bimmer..........gotta keep that off if you want to do doughnuts......it won't allow you to spin.
Traction control has it's good points on the Bimmer: Keeps the wife under control, and works great in bad weather. It's a 540I Sport Pkg, with Dinan modification and about 350rwhp. For a 4-door "family car", it can get up and go......and it CAN get away from you if you aren't careful. Most of us don't drive our Cobra's in bad weather, so that's not an issue. I would think putting traction control on a Cobra.......well.......that's sacrilege, isn't it!?
