Doesn't it just delay it? Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/70005-ba-xr6-turbo/#findComment-1032912 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know the BA traction control isnt the best but it shouldnt matter if your driving the car normally, unless your mate constantly drives like an idiot.

It was horrible. DSC is much better. Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/70005-ba-xr6-turbo/#findComment-1033013 Share on other sites More sharing options...

philk Member 3 Member For: 14y 8m 23d Posted 16/08/10 11:08 PM Author Share Posted 16/08/10 11:08 PM OK, you should get that looked at... ?I drive a Subaru legacy GT 2005 4wd ( so I don't get the option of turning off traction control) I use to have a 2001 750il V12 BMW with DSC that was great... with it offBut I do not own a XR6 Turbo, would love to I've been in his, it's impressive... I'm asking about this for him as he doesn't get on the computer much, so though I could help him outSo any info on disabling it would be great cheersPhil Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/70005-ba-xr6-turbo/#findComment-1033082 Share on other sites More sharing options...
