None of the fast RWD cars I can think of have TC on them,
ex V8 supercars, None of the Enduro cars, none of the OSCA cars down here, not on NZV8's,
We played with launch control and Traction control on my car and on the XR6T Focus, and always found it was better if you drove it properly without it. Even though it could break into wheelspin from 180K.
If you need TC, you need to learn to drive.
I did say fastest, none of the cars you have mentioned are in that category.
Fastest cars in the country at present are GT1(except the go-cart Porsches) by a large margin.
All the GT1 frontrunners have traction control.
This isn't because they can't drive, this is because a computer can calculate wheel speed and modulate power infinately faster than a human can who has to do it by feel.
Despite what most people think, the driving aids in new cars ie, EBD, ABS,ESC, TC are way better than they are.
