Yes it can happen (don't even think about asking!)

Wow that takes talent. Why don't you drop your "don't ask don't tell" policy and tell us about it...

uhhh, that pic proves what? dumb driving on city streets sometimes results in the loss of control and high velocity impacts into walls and soda machines?

Dan, How could you tell? It was that darn PEPSI machine from the football commercials! We pulled up at a red light and when it went green, he got the jump on me. But I started to gain and he squirted Pepsi into my lane which caused me to spin out and hit a spectator (A very large old style A&W root beer machine). You must have been there. I sure hope you did'nt get any pics!
Unfortunatly, I had turned the TC off before the jump. Its too bad I did, cause I might have launched better and been in the lead(where the Pepsi could'nt get under my tires), And even if I was behind when it squirted me, with the TC on, it would have saved me from spinning out!
Peace all,
Schlim

He's even mentioning it in his sig.
"R.I.P. My '05 Blk on Blk GT 5spd Deluxe (Don't ask!)"
He's just dying to tell.

On dry pavement I'd probably run w/the TC off all the time.
Maybe my day is coming?

The first thing I do when I step into the car and start er up is hit that button, unless it's raining but then I try not to get the stang out anyway. I feel that If you are a good driver (not bragging but I do have some road racing experince) you can often control yourself better than the traction control can control you. IMO ford has followed suit in regards to TC so that the general public will feel safer driving their vehicles. You don't see TC in most high end supercars and race cars, simply because it isn't needed when the car is in the hands of a seasoned driver. All of this is IMHO.

It isn't the TC that I'm concerned about. It is the lack of a well-designed vehicle stability control system that will help prevent accidents in the Mustang. Many Corvette owners admit to having their azz saved by this system. Ford could install this system on the Mustang with only minimal cost. A solid axle car in inexperienced hands, especially in the rain, is a potentially dangerous thing.
