In all honestly, your foot is the only traction control you need in an Evo. The Evo gives great feedback when you reach the limit of traction and stays very stable and controllable when you push it a little too far. You can easily maintain the control at the limit with minor throttle adjustments and left foot braking (if needed).

Not sure why you posted this here though ...

Yeah, but then again the only traction control you NEED in any car is your foot. But drive a high hp rwd car on the track and you'll appreciate it for your first few laps. The Evo shouldn't need it for maybe anything other than bad weather, and even then it would need something like stability management more than traction control.

Traction control on an EVO? What for? A set of good tires will be more than enough.

I agree ... it's not a "need" on any vehicle. However, the Evo is extremely stable and easy to drive at the limit compared to other cars it competes with.
