It should... I've never seen a car with traction control not have one.

It will. It's going to have stability control too, and will probably have one button to turn both off. Another e-nanny it will have will be TPMS. Both are mandated for new cars and currently being phased in; I think by 2011 both will be mandatory in 100% of cars.
Anyway, there's no way they won't include a button to turn it off. What would be even better would be a way to make it stay off until you want to turn it back on. For that, a custom hack job might have to be done.

stability control + traction control = stabilitrak. It's in almost everything on the Chevy lineup and they all have a button to shut it off...

What's traction control, LOL!!! I turn mine off before I buckle in, turn the radio or AC on, or anything else. As long as it's defeatable, I'm happy

The G8 lets you turn it all the way off, the Camaro should be no different. Unlike the Challenger . . .

It would be nice to also have a "sport" mode like many other performance cars have that allow you some fun while keeping you out of the tire wall, but that very well could mean more expense than benefit.
