Brapple, if you think TC is bad on an SVT how about a Zetec. Mine has it, I have no idea what they were thinking putting traction control in a ~3000lb FWD car with a 120hp I-4. It's absolutely useless in the snow when it's triggered the car just doesn't even wanna move. Ok I'm done complaining.

yes my point was that there is only like one SVT that is known of that has traction control

I ahve it on my zetec and in the pre98 it is mechanical system. if it comes on you just push the gas pedal back down and it will take the slack up, it is predicable and works great, not sure how it works in a post 98, I believe it cut the ignition and uses the brakes, where the pre98 modulates the throttle and uses the brakes

get some snow tires and you will be better off to boot
