I was looking on the SVT site and it says the 03 cobras has traction control. Has anyone bought and aftermarket tc system and put it on a L.I guess what im trying to say is has anyone tried this or has this topic ever been covered?

 

I've got traction control ever since this past May. It's called a $1000 bill for new tires in less than a year. Every time I think about lighting 'em up, the thought of forking over another grand tempers my smoke-loving leadfoot.

My traction control is my wife in the passenger seat. When the tires break loose, a hand comes up and "SMACK!" on the side of my head. This causes me to let up on the throttle and the tires regain traction.

Seriously, it was a concern of mine when I was originally shopping for an L. I realized that it was more a gimmick that was no excuse for poor tires. My wife has TC on her I30. The first winter on the stock Bridgestones she said the light would come on all the time. After I got her a set of Nokian NRWs she said it almost never comes on. If the tires grip, there is no slip.

 

snoop, i here yeah on the smack on the head!!!

I feel traction control on a 2wd vehicle is kinda useless. No on my 4x4 explorer, it actually works but my buddies 01 gt has it. All it does is apply brake to the side of the axle that spins to allow the other wheel to recieve power. On our trucks because the rear is so light it wouldn't make much of a difference. Where there is some weight in the mustangs, it's somewhat noticable.

 

If they are using the same set-up as the Bullitt, then it's not a bad thing. I liked it for most daily driving, and when you decided to push it, all you had to do was remember to turn it off. Of course, it did prove to be a bit embarrassing a few times when I forgot to turn it off and jumped on it from the line..........
