    Don't do this....

    Some guy I know *cough, cough* was attempting to show off the F-body just a bit at lunch today. A construction crew was at a stop light and were checking out his car and wanted him to "light them up". Light turns green, he rolls into the throttle to get it rolling then punches it.....car cuts out bad - develops a bad "miss". Oops....traction control is on. I'll bet that was humbling....glad it wasn't me

    I test drove a a 02 ss last summer. I took it out on a country road and gave it hell. I discovered that it ran like crap and wouldnt even bark a tire. The accelaration sucked and I was big time disappointed with overall performance.

    Then I found the traction control button

        God has a way of bring you back to Earth! I was enjoying the sun and the sound of my car just idling at the stop light - all was right with the world at that second. Stupid traction control
