Yea, I've seen that too before. Too bad it didn't run more of an average time instead of that slow time it ran.

Gen 2s are different. You have to go through the message center. Without going out to the car I cant remember what buttons you push.

In a gen 2 its the left most message center button, like the driver options and vehicle options? Its the one on the very left, push that once, then push reset. Traction Control is off.

Actually I'm not too sure about which button, its one of the ones on the very left. Push and if tc comes up in the message center then hit reset

Press Vehicle Options until it says Traction Control On and press Reset

KB Terminator is a SOLID 10 second car. Depending on which KB blower 9's aren't out of the question. That kid was probably some person who didn't know how to drive the car worth a damn and left the stocker tires on. Man he could have ran solid 1/8th run and coasted to a better ET than that.

I think I saw a stock Terminator run a 14.69 on that show. I know it was that time, just don't remember if it was stock or not.
