Competition Driving Mode???
Is there any info on the difference between the active handling & the competition driving settings?
Not that its a big concern, but since I found the setting I have become curious

JL4 is the option code on the build sticker in the glove box for Active Handling(AH),(on the driver's side storage comp cover pre '99)or you will see 'Active Handling' above the AH/TC button on the console; AH became a standard option in 2001 and 2nd gen. AH was also introduced; the 98-00 cars require you to be stopped before engaging "Compitive Driving" while the 2001 and later cars can engage CD on the fly
half of the '99FRC's had the JL4 AH option

Most people will get around faster with AH engaged.
Comp mode lets you have a little more fun getting around.
Buuuuut.......if you arent in the "most people will get around faster with AH on" group.....Comp mode is nothing special....and you will probably go faster with it all turned off.
Just being a realist here......
