Default Traction Control Question

Ok so when I have the Traction Control turned on should I be able to still spin the tires and break the car loose? I can break them loose with no problem and I don't think I should be able to unless I have it turned off or in competitive mode. If it's not working right will I have to take it do a dealer and have them look at it?

traction control will still allow some wheel spin up to a point before it interferes with your fun.

Especially in colder weather like this I have noticed tire spin is quite easy. Unless it get's excessive, TC seems to stay out of the way. If you play too hard, it will start to do it's job.

Thanks, It's been sitting in the garage because it cold and salt is not its friend. When it warms back up I will mess with it more and see how it acts.
