Not really. Going faster means that you've added performance to the car in some way, shape, or form. The car can now do something it was previously incapable of achieving. Traction control doesn't do that.
Its a safety net. A cut off. A minimum gaurentee. But you can still do better without it.

Of course they have. Race vehicles
should get faster over time. But thats somewhat beside the point. The use of traction control has reduced the cost of mistakes in numerous racing series. And a single mistake can mean the difference between 1st and 2nd. So again, its not making them
faster, its preventing them from going
slower.
Since you're convinced that TC makes a car faster, explain how it does actually makes the car go faster.
