It hasn't rained here in a while so roads are a bit dusty.This is a decent traction control system - tires generate most traction with a bit of slip, and you want to keep pushing the envelope. I'm not sure if they've modeled appropriately the weight transfer into their control algorithm because it feels like it's surprised by it and could be more robust, but overall it works well.</blockquote>
