i completely disagree with the bashing towards ABS and TC
traction control is not meant for snow or mud, it is meant to keep you from sliding in slick conditions like rain or icey roads.
TC has saved me several times when i had my 05 impala, during heavy rains and the winter blast last year in texas.
im driving my wife's 98 cavalier with no abs while my engine is being put back together, and i hate it, damn thing locks up all the damn time.. once the wheels lock up, you better hope you aimed your car the right way or your smacking in the back of the car thats in front of you.
all these advances in technology has been developed because they DO increase the safety of everyday driving. people say they want to be able to control their cars?? you are controlling your car lol.. with abs now you can steer when your braking, and now you can come out of a slip or sliding in a slick condition.
stability control is even better, but that just goes in deeper..
i guess i have a different view point because i have been properly educated on what these systems do and how they function. graduating Universal Technical Institute in July. my last 4 courses are hotrod and power and performance 1 & 2 then hybrids, hella fun.
anyways, i pretty much thought and felt the same way until i was properly educated.
