Should the traction control on a Ford Mustang always be on?

No, traction control on a Ford Mustang shouldn't *always* be on. While it's generally a good safety feature, especially in adverse weather conditions, turning it off can be beneficial in certain controlled situations:

* Track driving: Experienced drivers on a closed track may want to disable traction control to allow for more precise control and drifting techniques. This is only recommended for skilled drivers in a safe environment.

* Getting unstuck in snow or mud: In some cases, briefly turning off traction control can help regain traction if the wheels are spinning ineffectively.

However, for everyday driving, leaving traction control ON is strongly recommended. It significantly improves safety and handling, particularly on slippery surfaces or during sudden maneuvers. The risks of disabling it in normal driving conditions outweigh the benefits for most drivers.
