This has been discussed about a billion times, but here is a link that explains what it is and how it works.

The aggressive sounds you hear could be your passenger's screams.

Competition mode keeps your ABS system in place but shuts off the throttle control that normally keeps you from making a total *** of yourself and wrecking beyond repair.....LOL
Comp mode doesn't have anything to do with the ABS. It is part of the Active Handling.
