My 99 doesn't have it, or active handling. Fine with me

Check your glove box options sheet for JL4... if you're optioned with that, you've got it. You have to be at a stop and hold the button down until the screen pops up "competition Mode"...

Default its on you

It really depends on your driving ability and what works best for you. I drive with it off at the track. My buddy puts in comp mode both that can save your *** if you start to loose it. If you are inexpirenced I would make one pass with it on one with comp mode and one with nothing. Learn your car first dont just get out there and push it. Thats my best advise I saw a guy last night in a beautiful 69 push it and end up loosing it into a field.

I usually keep mine off most of the time unless it's raining. I like the feel and it cuts a half a second off your time.
