Re: Competitive Driving Feature!!!!!!!! (Z_OH_6)
IMO Chev should have implemented the TC/AH options differently....
default/engine startup --- both systems on (they won't change this)
single press of AH button --- Comp Mode
press and hold 5 secs --- both systems off
I know it's only 5 seconds, but Why make it so easy to turn everything off?

:iagree: Several Forum members have discovered that turning off active handling is [b]not[b] a good idea - it's there to help in emergency situations in particular.

Re: Competitive Driving Feature!!!!!!!! (theblackvette)
CM = competition mode
There is a device sold by some of the sponsors that will allow you to have the car turn on competition mode every time, or turn of AH every time, etc. It's like $150 if I remember.

Re: Competitive Driving Feature!!!!!!!! (Dr.Ron)
HAHA
"COMPETITION MODE" ....... WHAT A JOKE!
That feature as well as the traction control is the biggest POS ever.
So far it has done nothgin but almost run me into a ditch, and cause me to hit a curb.
I got into 2 situations, where i needed the car to loose traction, once to avoid a collision, and the other time to make an abrupt maneuver.
Both times, I had forgotten to turn the trac control off ( as i usually do every time i sit in the seat)
I wacked the throttle and expected the car to react.... both times it killed power and got me 1/2 sideways.... to far to get it back straight, and not far enough to make the car go where i wanted..... in no-mans land.
one word JUNK!
SOME ONE PLEASE TELL ME HOW TO DISABLE BOTH OF THESE FEATURES FOREVER!
No one can tell me these modes make you a better driver. It interferes with every natural cause and effect reaction that you as a driver will ever encounter. It is a crutch that will never make the owner of the car a better driver. down with competition mode and down with traction control.
Tru it is used by formula one, but thats like comparing training wheels to a laser guided missle.

Great Post: You should put this under my thread,
"What I don't Like about the Z06"
I feel the same way about the HUD!
I am getting my car edited. They are going to edit out the shift lock feature on my car. I can't stand that either. I will ask the guy if he would be able to edit the Traction Control feature. If so I will give you more info! Take care!

And yes it CAN be edited out! I am having this done among other items next week.
I am excited (and almost concerned) about the additional power/performance I will be getting! I'll let ya know what happens!
