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.

If there is no TCS or ASR button on the console just in front of the shifter, the "listing" (whatever that is you are referring to) is wrong.

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.
