Default Traction control S2000

Has this car ever come with traction control, some of the dealers are advertising and quoting traction control.

Also seen a Type R Vs the S2000 and the presenter said he was turning the traction control off the S2000 (this is when the Type r beat the S2000)

Also what is ABS with EBD.

Thanks for any help.

Yes, Budgie's right, a new 06 thing, part of how the traction control works. Can individually (or in opposite corner pairs depending on the system) brake wheels.

They have a Limited Slip Diff which people may be confusing for traction control.

That was on Driven (aka Drivel), one of the worst car programmes ever to be shown on TV (apart from that shyte with Mike Brewer chavving up a Rover 200) - there was no TC on that car, the presenter was talking bollocks.

yeah I've seen that and probably most others on here, its total bollocks the S has never come with traction control - it could of been added at a later date by a 3rd party of course, but if so they are a big girl
