Yep.
Again is wheeelspin thru accleration with a stock engine an issue at?.

In the total lack of traction, no traction control unit will work anyway.

Explain how.
Are you now switching tpoics to race cars?.

I'mjust trying to get to the actual *truths* in what you are saying.
Having missed the 40 MPH shut off, is missing a rather inportant part of the
overall strategy.  Worring about traction in a none traction event is
meaningless in my opinion
