Question regarding stabiltiy control

[Giff]

Which of the Coupes have stability control as in true active braking fitted?
I've read about the 3200 having traction control and indeed seen the button but can't decipher whether it was only the facelift 4200s that had the full ESP.
Cheers.

It was from 2003 onwards on the 4200.
Pre MY03 was ASR only (traction control), then MSP followed for the MY03, copied from the handbook:
"The system is capable of detecting whether the driver is about to lose control of the vehicle. In this case, it can activate the brake calipers individually and engine control, in order to create a torque sufficient to resist the vehicle's yawing moment"

My thoughts are that if MSP comes into play you are not driving to the prevailing road conditions.

Good point Mike!
I always follow the traffic laws and never speed!!!

But when the roads are slippery....I am truly concerned and drive like a 110 year old man!!

....you can get it to come on at times.......but for me more on larger humps where the wheels momentarily leave the road....

Thanks for the replies. So can I identify it by the car having a button marked "MSP"?
