Default TCS and VSA

I wish the '05 HAH came with VSA. It's just a little more safety and security.

When I was in MS and heading to FL earlier this month, I was driving down I-10 around Gautier when the rain just came down in buckets. I-10 is a 75 MPH interstate. When the rain started coming down hard, the 80 MPH traffic flow slowed down to 60 MPH. All of a sudden, I feel my car start to yaw. Just as I sense this, and before I could make any steering/throttle inputs, my TCS light starts to flash and the car straightens right up! It was reassuring to know TCS stopped my wheel spin and helped to keep my car on the road. But it would make me feel a whole lot better knowing I had the added benefit of VSA. Needless to say, 60 MPH then became 45 MPH for the duration of the rain.
