I’ve had newer cars with electronic engine controls. I have a question maybe someone has insight upon. My CTSV wagon would just die out when it went to wheelspin. Very unsophisticated. I’ve driven it over my head before and the Stabilitrack just hunkers the car down. Truly amazing.
Let’s assume you have an old car with engine management controls like drive by wire, electronic ignition, electronic distributor advance, electronic transmission, electronic braking aids; are electronic engine controls capable of adjusting performance parameters on the fly to balance wheel spin versus acceleration? You’ll notice that I didn’t say traction control because it just dumps performance.
What would it take to put something like that on our cars? Wouldn’t it be cool to have something you could just matt-it and get the best ET every time?
