No traction control. A good driver does not need it.

well ... are we trying to imply here that M Schumacer, D Coultard, Montoya are all pussies? A car when driven to the limit with traction control is

1) safer
2) more resp towards the other users of the road

one can think for hell that they are great drivers, but accidents do happen. Also, unless you plan on doing drifts and other stunts on the car, a good driver wouldnt normally try to induce wheel spins on the car. so the traction control wouldnt be on. That IMHO is responsibility ... no pussyness ...

There is really one one circumstance that I would like traction control and that would be leaving from a stop on icy/snowy roads.

The person behind and beside you migh be a bit scared to see your rear swing out everytime you launch from a stop in these conditions. Yes yes, you can feather the clutch and throttle to minimize the effect but it is easier with traction control.

Actually, if the S came with traction and VSC I wouldn't complain, just give the option to turn it off.
