Drag Race Question re Active Handling
Have any of you who drag race your C5s figured what to do with the "active handling" button on the console? I got some bogging off the line today with the system left on and am not sure if that is the culprit or maybe it's just my driving. Thanks

Ah
Just press the button to turn AH off or if you have the later generation AH you can hold the button down for a few seconds to go into competition mode which turns off traction control, but leaves on active handling. Hope this helps.

It sounds like your traction control was kicking in.
In the case of my '02 Z06, if I press the button once it will turn off active handling and traction control, hold it down for 10 sec and it goes to competition mode where active handling is still active but traction control is off.
