Who knows. Traction control isn't the issue -- it's the same with the traction control off. I drive like your granny only if she's a wildwoman. :-) I start out slower than I'd like from stoplights because that's all the car is capable of. Even after 3 years of learning to baby the thing from a start, I still occasionally "choke" it because it just doesn't have the power to start moving the car as quickly as I'm trying to. If I drove like a granny, there wouldn't be much problem -- THAT it can do. Similarly with shifting &etc -- you don't notice the "no power, then huge surge of power" problem if you keep the turbo gauge in the white zone. But if you do that, any soccer mom in a minivan can pass you, and what's the point of driving an Aero? Gary
