off topic / traction control

[Seth]

>From what I have read, the VW ABS/ traction control works at under ~25
mph and applies brakes to the spinning wheel and reduces engine output.
Above 25 mph, it just reduces engine output. I don't know any more
details than that, but I can tell you that in very slippery conditions,
the drive by wire (electronic throttle) cars will start closing the
throttle to reduce output after they dump all the turbo boost.
