if its wet outside I turn off my tcs... not all maros comes with traction control. I can't stand how they did it. its so abrupt that it will putyou in more of a slide then snapping off the throttle... I can't stand having it on

a note to the mods (in case they haven't noticed this problem) but when I go to make a new post it says "This forum requires that you wait 30 seconds between posts. Please try again in 30 seconds." but still posts the post

I hated driving my 5.0s in the rain. It absolutely sucked when I had to go up a hill and the slightest throttle it would fishtail and I'd have to baby it. Thank god I now have AWD and not a ****ty old ford. Yes I called my beloveded fords ****ty lol. Hopefully I can go take my car in the mud a bit tomorrow

Oh and for those with ***** of steel....AWD does NOT make your car invincible in the rain! So be careful!

you're a ***** if the lil shimmy off starting from a stop light scares you and makes you hate the car.... and if its fishtailing your suspension was ****ed... I get a small shimmy that you'd prob only notice from outside the car

whoa my post didn't go through....

**** traction control, how gm does their traction control is 100X worse then just snapping off the throttle. It will put you even more sideways. Whenever it's wet outside I ALWAYS turn it off because the car is soooo unstable with it on and completely out of your control....

Also not all camaro's come with traction control, it's an option
