Ok, you guys aren't understanding what he's saying... He doesn't mean automatic TC, he's asking if on click of the e-brake could add some traction control to our cars like the cavelier. Personally, I'm not so sure. On one hand, the e-brake is ONLY the rear brakes so it wouldn't control wheel spin in the front. But on the other, having the rear wheels harder to turn might help the front grab better? 
Hmm... I don't think so. I actually think it would make less traction cause now the front needs to use MORE force to pull the rear end. Correct me if I'm wrong someone

Rep Power: 0 He means pulling up the parking brake would turn off the traction control on the chevy cavalier. So if there is no button to turn off the traction control, he could pull up the parking brake one click and drive with the handle slightly up and dash brake light lit and not have the brakes dragging.

i had a buddy do that and it took away his ABS
wtf would a cavaleer have a TCS? tcs are for middle aged men who want to leadfoot there bimmer so they think there going fast w/o having to learn how to drive. ive only seen a tcs on cars like audi/bmw/merc/ and similar priced domestics and some higher end imports.
