BUT.....the AH is reduced and allows some "yaw" that otherwise would not be tolerated when all the baby-sitters are ON.

The book doesn't tell you about this, you have to hold down the button for 5 secs and this mode will engage, I just found out myself. You get the most out of your vette when you race off the line, if you need specifics call your cheve dealer and ask for service and the guys will tell you everything you need to know!

It's in my manual page 4-12
"Competitive Driving Mode
The driver can select this optional handling mode by
pressing the ACTIVE HANDLING button on the console
for more than five seconds. A chime will sound and
COMPETITIVE DRIVING will be displayed in the DIC.
Competitive Driving mode allows the driver to have
full control of the rear wheels while the Active Handling
System helps steer the vehicle by selective brake
application. The instrument cluster light will not be on.
The Traction Control System will not be operating.
Adjust your driving accordingly.
When you press the ACTIVE HANDLING button again,
or turn the ignition to ACC, the Active Handling and
Traction Control Systems will be on. The TRAC/ACT
HNDLG-ON message will be displayed temporarily in the
DIC and a chime will be heard."
