Default Competetive Driving Mode..

When should this feature be used? Curvy roads? What exactly does it do?

Comp mode shuts Traction Control off, but leaves Active Handling on.

Best used at a dragstrip, or whenever you want to get on it, spin the rear tires a little, yet still have some skid/slide protection.

I've driven every mile (starting at around 2500) in the Competitive Driving mode... just now approaching 19,000 miles.

Just be sure you don't turn both traction control and AH off. You can get into alot of trouble. lol
