Just wondering if anyone went out to play? Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/313-anyone-turn-off-the-traction-control-last-night/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Hydro Guests Posted 10/12/02 11:16 PM Share Posted 10/12/02 11:16 PM Turned mine off just before I got home last night and had a play, also tried the traction control on, just had to check that it works :lol: Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/313-anyone-turn-off-the-traction-control-last-night/#findComment-2825 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kind of funny driving a car that has more torque in the top end than the bottom. Oh, and that was with the traction control on...

Heres a quote from AutoWeb: Quote The standard diff on the XR6T is a ratchet-style limited slip unit with the added effectiveness of electronic traction control. The traction system performs very well in the majority of instances but it is still possible to degenerate into bulk wheelspin; it's not the sort of traction control that makes this a car you could safely let anyone drive in any condition.heres the link to the full article: http://www.autoweb.com.au/cms/A_1613/article.htmlperhaps this is a trade off in the setup to make it less intrusive Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/313-anyone-turn-off-the-traction-control-last-night/#findComment-2863 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go figure. l too have noticed this Grant, it does break traction more easily than l would have expected.l hadnt had the car 5 minutes driving home from the dealer in the wet before l broke traction and l wasnt pushing it that hard, but when the torque comes in the TC doesnt seem to intervene in a way l expected, and probably should.
