Turn it off. That's what I do, and that was the consensus on the ZR-1 net listerv a number of years ago.

What is this 'traction control' you speak of? Is this a later model year than a 1990 item added?

yes Traction control, also called ASR on the vettes, started in the 1992 Model year..

I hate to sound like some "old foggey"....but I'm kind of glad my 90 doesn't have ASR....it's one less system that I have to worry about getting non-existant parts for if it goes down....sometime in the future. ;)
