Does anyone know what type of traction control is used on the 2003 and
newer Crown Victoria and Grand Marquis.

GM Saturns use a lower cost system that takes about a second to
respond on an icy road since it cuts fuel and spark to the engine.

High dollar imports like Saab apply the brakes to get a fast response
time.

I'm guessing that Ford uses the cheaper, slower system on a $20,000
car.
