Question Traction Control

I wanted to know if Traction Control was optional for the 92 SC400? I know how you guys get mad about people not searching on this, but let me tell you. I used the search button and also looked and also took a look on the intellexual website. I found a link there for the revision of the SC400 but it didn't work. So please help me out you guys. Thanks.

Thanks guys. I guess from the response I got from you guys, it seems that it was optional. Thanks again.

Edmunds.com will be another place to find information on what's new for a specific year:

What's New for 1992
The SC 400 is an all-new model from Lexus although it was introduced in June 1991. The sleek coupe features standard ABS and driver airbag. Traction control is optional with automatic transmission. The SC 400 is powered by a V8 engine driving the rear wheels.

i think you'll find the traction control more on the east coast cars and less here in cali, just as more with heated seats over there but i could be wrong just what i heard

If you dont have traction control, i wouldn't be too upset. It so annoying that I turn it off in all conditions.
