I've only extensively driven the IS-F, and I am always amazed at how well it keep me planted when its raining and I have it in snow mode. It's like having AWD practically, it impresses me ever ytime. I was just curious, for people who have driven/owned other high-end sports cars (made in the past 10 years or so) is our traction control just as good, or better?

Hmmm...not that I'm trying to imply the F's traction control system is bad. What I think you're experiencing is the throttle response. If you're running stock tires and drive it in normal or sports mode it's going to slip and you're definitely going to get the tail out. Especially, in the rain. Snow mode is where it's at in the rain👍. Here in Miami it rains constant off and on. While in snow mode the car drives exactly how you described👌

its going to come down to the tire, my summer tires are a death wish in winter, no matter in snow mode or not. snow mode cuts the throttle back.

It cuts throttle and can independently apply the brakes to each wheel if I recall correctly to stop slide, correct yaw....its nothing special.

It does all this and will let you do complete idiot things at the track without telling you you're screwing up terribly until your front brakes cook (even with Carbotech XP-12s). AMHIK.

I didn't think it was all that good in my 08 until I turned it completely off and floored it in sports mode. Almost wet myself, it was all over the place. Definitely gotta get an lsd before I do that again lol

I've owned over 20 sports/sporty cars now and most of them have some form of traction/stability control system. I find the ISF to be the most lenient of them all, in sport mode with all nannies left on, it will let you have lots of fun almost to the point of killing yourself before it stops the party. I LOVE that about our cars.

So will the corvette, while the Corvette has over 200hp more. Just watch the video of the idiot track guy in a rental Z06, going WOT at parts that would have spun him into a wall otherwise.

It's really not anything special anymore, considering most performance cars have something like this. Even the older C5 corvette's active handling could save you after you did something stupid, and that was back in the early 2000s.

Thats crazy wonder how hard you are pushing it, I find it quite hard to even heat up the stock brembos even after back to back 100+mph to dead stops they wont heat ever.... of course at the track...

Saved my *** coming out of a turn hot at 85 mph.

I use mine on the track all the time. Its saved me twice from a massive spin. With the much wider track oriented rubber Im on now the light never comes on
