AH/Traction control
I've looked in the archives and found great info on the AH/TC systems in my 2001 Z06. Thank everybody.
Now; having read most of the posts I surmize that my car should have FOUR positions controlled by the HGD (Happy Goodyear Dealer) button...
All ON
TC off/AH on
Comp mode
All off
I can get the first three but the All Off ain't happenin' no matter how long the HGD button is held down.
Did only SOME of the '01's come equipped so as to allow the TC and AH to be turned off or did I offend this thing when I called it an oil burning POS?
Thanks in Advance
Chris

TC off/AH on IS Comp mode. Just pushin the button(not holding it) will switch between all on/all off. Holding it for 5 secs puts it into Comp Mode.You should have THREE positions.(That's how it works on my '02 Z at least)

And my '04 Z16 too. Except my Comp Mode takes A LOT longer than 5 sec. hold.

It's called a Laptrax TracActive Controller. http://www.corvettegarage.com/produc...-corvette.html
You can set it so your car starts in Comp Mode.
I don't know if they make it for the C6 yet.

I also like the deluxe model because it automatically resets the Competition Mode display on the DIC. I don't know if they make it for the C6 yet

1. All ON

4. All off (hold the button down for 10 sec)
The first three just cycle with each button push, the 4th mode requires a longer hold down of the button like Comp mode on the C5

I thought that Comp Mode was TC off/AH on?I think in the C6 the Comp Mode has more aggressive limits than the second mode. Basically the same mode with different setpoints from what I've read.
