Default Traction control and abs

Is this a thing for cobras. Given the ease with which a cobra can break traction etc and with the wife wanting to drive it, is a traction control system available of the shelf or easily retrofitted from something?
Do they talk to the ecu?
Cheers

Most owners think that breaking traction is a feature, not a bug...

Sounds like you need to build a detuned version for your bride...

Nope. Your operative word is "easily". It's not easy and is very expensive. As my old friend frank used to say "nothing is impossible. The impossible just takes more time and costs more money". Way more than you will ever recover on a kit car. Have at it but chances are, since you're asking, you don't possess the skills to do it yourself (or you wouldn't be adking)

Good. Luck.

A miata woukd be cheaper

Start with the ecu. You don't have one. It's naked uncontrolled power that depends on the skill of the operator to not kill yourself. Nannies need not apply

Hoity,

If you elect to switch to an aftermarket EFI system, you will find many have a traction control system built in that only requires you to enable it with mouse clicks and wheel speed sensors.
