Sanctus said:well id have to question the maturity in that statement. i might be a minor but i do believe that is a very juvinile statement you just made. Any limitations placed on a car that only see's street use is NOT for "sissies" or wusses or whatever. I believe that when driving on the roads there are so many factors that can come into play that having even a 300hp car is alot of the time too much. I see these adds for the Z06 and cars in that category and i just think how dangerous the car is. not just for you if you got in an accident, but what about the little kid who runs out in the street around the corner and your sliding because you didnt have traction control on. you know i honestly believe that after having a 300hp daily driver i see that cars should have limitations. Infact i had a discussion with my mom and dad this morning about how i would not give my friends a stang gt. and it was kinda ironic how they gave me one and i would not let my friends have one. I think that the IDEA of a high horsepower car is fantastic. its fun, its just a blast. but when it comes to respsonsibility. especially on days like today, where the roads are soaking... and you have a car that can top out at 143mi/hr. it honestly scares the crap outta me. there is so much pressure to control it and keep it under the speed limit. I am a newly founded believer in the idea that you can never be too cautious and too safe.

You are relying on a driving aid to make up for your unability to control the car in inclimate conditions. Learn how to drive without the traction control; what happens if the TC fails?
WTF r u talking about?gp001 said:Traction control won't help. Just make sure your throttle regulator is properly tuned and you will be fine.

This thread is comical..Your 16 and your afraid of spinning the tires?? I dont know maybe its just me Or maybe kids that drive these cars automatically become YUPPIES!!! Turn it off and keep it off!! You wanna learn how to drive? KEEP IT OFF!!! When the weather conditions turn bad,then you use it!! Thats all!!!!!!!
I drove an 05 GT,,I dont see the problem..If you were driving a 500HP vehicle I could see,,but an 05/06 doesnt have vicious hp that is hard to controll How long have you been driving for?gp001 said:Throttle regulator = the drivers brain.
I agree that your advice is comical. Sounds more like a Fast and Furious soundbite.

Agree. Why buy a GT if you're afraid of it? And why would any parent buy one of these cars for their kid?
