Andy - in any car with an ECU you're *always* relying on the electronics performing to give you the ability to overtake or even get moving in the first place, irrespective of whether it's got traction control.
As for "And what happens when you DO need power (perhaps an overtaking emergency), and the ECU overrides you." - eerrrmmmmm, massive wheelspin doesn't help you to overtake...
Cutting a bit of fuel or sparks is relatively simple compared to the rest of the ECUs work, so if you've got techno-fear then stick to good old carbs dizzy & points smile.gif
