competitive mood?
how many of you guys use "competitive mode" usually in your everyday driving? i like the idea of being in control of the rear wheels myself;but i just recently am experimenting with this,and i'm curious how others respond,and adjust to it.

Only use it for racing.

I never bother with the button unless I go to the track. Then I use Competition Mode. TC on the newer cars isn't as interruptive as was on the early C5s. I can spin the tires with it on and never have it interfere. Sometimes when one hits a bump or uneven surface the TC will trigger but it is rare when it happens.

BTW, if you have to drive completely legally, like I have to for the next year, comp mode is of no benefit. If I were able to drive as I wished(on the street), I would prefer Comp mode most of the time.

Im fixing to order the laptrax...for those of you that have it can you answer these questions....
1. Does it say "competive mode" when you start the car (in other words do you have to hit reset every time you start the car?)
2. Is there any way to get it out of comp mode when you have the laptrax. (say if there was a rare instance where you might need it?)
Thanks in advance

I did some reasearch and found the answers to my questions 
Ill post em for anyone wondering.
A1) If you get the deluxe version then it will clear the messages for you but it is a bit harder to install.
A2) Yes. You can hit the button any time and turn it back on.

Get the cheaper model, as all you need to do is hit your reset button to comp mode from dic and you can then use any button you want for gauges, mileage etc. you can turn trac control back on anytime you like.
