Is it easy to lose traction? Does 180sx has Traction Control?

Cheers :)


I've never been driven a RWD car, but I'm so interested in 180sx.
:oops:

there's no traction control. why you'd want traction control on one of these cars is beyond me.
don't drive like a goob and you won't have any problems.

are you sure you wouldn't prefer a DC5?

I don't think English is their first langauge so cut them some slack.

... and he still has better spelling and punctuation than JayS14 :P

Why would we cut him slack with such a ridiculous question, and username.

Stop diluting SNSW's tubes.

you will be surprised how many people think the same of 180s and silvias.

i actually had some people telling me not to buy an s13 because they would just lose traction as soon as you turn and slide off in the rain for no reason.

traction control is for girls. don't drive like a dk & you'll be fine regardless whether its wet or dry.

i'll second that, i've only had my sil for like a month n a bit, n its my first rwd car, but in the wet if u behave n excercise some throttle control there should be no reason for u to have any problems.
