98 Trans am Traction Control
I have a 98 Trans am I just purchased. It was listed as having traction control but there is no button on the dash. How do I know if I actually have traction control and if I do how do I turn it off when there is no button.

TCS was an option - look for RPO code NW9 on the drivers side door to see if it's listed.

I didnt think I had it, the dealer tried to tell me the car had traction control. I figured that was false after driving the car sideways in the rain for 4 blocks. I much rather not have it anyway.

You don't need it, don't worry. I don't have it on mine either and if I did I'd probably have it off all the time. I don't have a problem in the rain, just gotta know how hard you can push the gas without spin / how to keep her straight. It's not a nightmare to drive in the rain.
