You completely missed my point- I know all about the banned traction control systems. What I was saying is that any USDM production-car traction control is NOT designed for faster laptimes- it's designed for fewer crashes. The STi in showrooms now *might* be faster with the VDC active, but I will believe that when a professional driver goes around a racetrack faster with it than without it. That has nothing to do with competition systems.
Read the first line of my last post again:

 I'm not debating the merits of FIA-style traction control. I'm talking about electronic nannies to keep stupid Americans from crashing their car because they think they can do what they want in bad conditions.
