Traction Controls on LE - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums

Has anyone taken their camry to a race track? If so, I am wondering if they noticed that traction controls on LE is quite bad...I was at Barber Racetrack yesterday to test out my 05 LE along with some friends...I noticed that every time I turned into a corner I was actually throwing the rear end into a spin and had to correct myself every time...I got used to it after a couple of runs(Fun though)...I tried the same thing late last nite around my neighbourhood..I would take sharp left and right turns at about 30-40 mph...and same thing...I do agree LE doen't have Traction control but this shouldn't happen at low speeds...Probably the ride height is to blame or maybe no sway bars...but this is really a safety concern!! Let me know...Keep me posted!!

I feel the same way here, i figured this could help prevent it;

1. Lower ride hight
2. Front & Rear Sway bars
3. larger rim diamater "less tire wall sway"
4. wider rim "more traction"

I could be wrong, after all im just a newb to this stuff

I thought traction control was to keep the front wheels from free spinning. Stability control keeps the car on it path.
