Clearly, I'm not at all shy about showing my ignorance of things technical, but as I understand the traction control, if you were in a gentle curve at 30 mph, IF the traction control had turned itself off, you should not have even noticed.

My Nissan pickup with NO frills and no traction control can hold a decreasing radius exit ramp at 50 with little drama...the Crossfire is not stressed at all at 30 mph on a gentle sweeper.
