  • Traction control

    Was just wondering , is there an auto traction control on the 3800 camaros , because it seems when i punch it from the take of the engine just seems to just bog , i mean i cant even do a burnout heh, i guess it could just be the engine in the heavy car , well just wondering , thx oh and i have a 96 v6 , with cold air intake *k&N* straight pipe in place of the cat and a flowmaster on it ..thats it

    i dont really know what im talking about but i read if you put a straight pipe where the cat is on our v6s it doesnt have enough back pressure and you loose low end torque... i could be wrong it was just a wild guess

        LOL, my car is all stock, 1997, and it will not even try to burn the tires, unless of course the street is wet or gravel. You or WE, would have to have texas speed remove the "power management" on our computers.

          you poor guys. I can burn mine all day.

          our cars do come with auto traction control but you should have a switch and defiantly an indicator light on you instrument panel showing that you have entered into traction control mode when you Begin to lose traction.

            well i think only the 98+ or so have a switch for traction control , the only light i have similar to it is a low traction light and that only comes on when i hit the brakes very hard, i can slide *while turning of course* and it wont come on

                    Traction control was an option which was first available in 99. 99 was the first year for the electronic or "drive by wire" throttle, which made it easy to implement. I believe that less than half (maybe much less than half) of V6s were ordered with the option. It's easy to spot, there's a "TCS" switch on the dash (which turns it off temporarily).

                    Earlier V6 automatics had a "second gear start" system, kinda a poor man's version of TC.

                      hmmmmm Earlier V6's? My 2000 has the "SGS" button on the dash. No TC button though..

                        ....Is it a M5 or A4? I know in my 5-speed V6, I can burn out almost all day. Just give it some gas and drop the clutch. Have you tried power braking?
