So I'm driving the other day on the highway, at about 75mph, and all of a sudden the car just pulls hard to one side and sort of felt like it was braking at the same time!!! I looked at the display and it was reading that the traction control had been engaged. Has this happened to anyone else. Or does anyone know what it is?? Thanks

Traction control does NOT apply any braking, what it basically does is cut fuel supply.

Competitive Driving Mode
"The Corvette Active Handling system will be the first of its type to offer dual mode operation. In addition to an "OFF" mode, in which Active Handling is disabled, the system also allows the driver to select a "COMPETITIVE DRIVING" mode for autocross or gymkhana competitions. In this mode, the Active Handling system remains fully-functional -- measuring steering, yaw rate and lateral acceleration inputs as well as applying individual wheel brakes as required -- but the traction control system is disabled, allowing for some wheelspin and oversteer that skilled drivers often find beneficial in competitive driving."

The button has 2 functions
HIT the button ONCE, the result is Traction Control & Active Handling are disabled.
HOLD the button in for about 3-5 seconds, the result is Active Handling is ON, Traction Control is OFF ("COMPETITVE DRIVING" mode)
