I think that might be the same as my suggestion. If all it means is that both wheels slip equally you're still going to do donuts on the highway.

Really the car is very well behaved....this only makes sense if you drive on bald tires, FI, or have alot of ran/snow and don't use snow tires.......

So nobody likes traction control. If it is so wimpy, why does Schumacher and all the Formula One boys have it?

Actually I have the Suzuka blue. I need to change my profile.

for around 70-80 grand you can actually get PSM. Unfortunately it has a Carrera attached to it.

Or maybe an Audi A8. The traction control system on that thing is amazing. Watched one on the track and everytime the car started getting too much out of control (around 10+ degrees of slip angel), the freaking computer brought it back. Amazing if you ask me.

I though Nurburgring Blue and Suzuka Blue are the same colour, just named different for US and Euro markets?

Racelogic won't work on obd-II cars, I tried. OBD-II is set to detect misfires and if the racelogic cuts spark, you end up throwing a CEL. pita.

Plus, I don't like the idea of a traction control system that doesn't cut both spark AND fuel. If you cut fuel, you can knock. if you cut spark, you end up washing down the cylinder walls with gasoline. if you cut both, you should be ok, but you throw a misfire code.

if you want stable in a corner, how about this?
