In the mustang, you could let the clutch out and floor the car. The TC will kick in and make the car hold steady at about 1000 rpms or less and it will "limp" up the hill. Sure its no 4x4 but on snow-covered roads, I never got it stuck. Even my wife drove around everywhere in it with no probs in the snow. It is seriously a way better system. And the best part is that when you shut it off...it is OFF. No bullshhhh nanny still working to keep you "safe", lol

You do realize, our cars are "blessed" with "90's" Mercedes SLK technology......time marches on. And the SLK never had the wide rear tires the Crossfire came with.
