2000 SC 400 - NO traction control - is that rare?
My 2000 SC 400, which I have owned for 2 years now, does not have traction control. Is this rare? I know that traction control was an option, but I thought that almost all of the later SC 400's had it; perhaps I am wrong on that. I am glad that the car has no traction control; it is more fun to drive without it. But is this rare? Anyone have a rough estimate of the percentage of the later (98-00) SC 400's that came with/without traction control?

Neither of my 99's had it. At least it didnt come in the form on a TRAC button and system like the pre-vvti's did. Instead it has a Snow button which is sorta like traction control I guess?

Snow mode pretty much desensitizes your accelerator, and shifts sooner.
Traction + Heated seats were a part of a winter package. Quite a few SC's don't have it.

My 96 doesn't have the heated seats or the traction control...but I do wonder what changes when you toggle the "ECT" from normal to power. Does it just change how aggressively it shifts RPM wise?

My 92 has traction and heated seats... never knew it was rare to find one like that. But yeah, I would expect most late models to be factory equipped with traction control, but I guess you have a good find!

Please note: my car isn't turbocharged.
With the same suspension work and limited slip plus a turbocharger of any size and I do think it would be ideal to have a traction control system. All Soarers and MKIV Supra Turbos had it.
The aftermarket system I'm most familiar with is the RaceLogic ECU which plugs into the Supra TT's factory TC ECU location.
