Correct me if I'm wrong, but isnt' traction control suppose to be used when you are in slippery conditions and snow and ice etc.. to help you control your car. It isn't for everyday driving in normal conditions? is that correct?

I turn mine off alot, i have experienced the tcs come on when i shift from 5th to 3rd for a highway pass, makes the car do a nose dive for a second. Really sucks.

In the rain, it makes a big difference. This Vette blocked me in today, when I finally got around him, went by spinning in third (in the rain). Without TCS, could have got interesting. He wasn't racing, he just speeded up when I was coming up behind him, then slowed down when he got beside a REALLY slow car, just to piss me off. Stupid Vette owners, I still passed him. Anyway, I digress...

Rain or shine, works good, just turn it off if I want to hotdog.
