The 98 and newer traction control is very different. It does not close the throttle to cut power. It cuts power thru the PCM as well as gently moderating the brakes at the individual wheel or wheels that it wants to control. On this type of a system, the Traction Control is mostly an inhancment of ABS. It seems that the whole idea of this thread is that perhaps the SVT (or maybe other ABS equipped 98 and newer cars as well) already have most of the Traction Control built in and just may need something minor to finish the availability of it.
