Default Traction System in Comp Mode? Huh?

Had the Z in competition mode last night. I was riding in 2nd gear and floored it. The back tires spun and then I got "Traction Control System Enabled (or Activated..)". Why would I get this with Competition Mode on?

And yes, I'm VERY sure that I was in Comp Mode.

I cannot even spin the tires in Comp mode, so my TC is on

Netj...................had you killed the engine, after you set the CDM..........?
Then, a spin??......possibly??
See you have an '01 also.................
I think, the guy's that have the '02's are fixing to have some problems (appears we may as well).
The problem of WHEEL HOP, has been addresssed with the '02's.........and I THINK, the system WILL OVERIDE the CDM mode, if it is detected.......BREAKAGE occurs.........
This as you well know, is NOT supposed to happen on the '01's.............
IF it IS, then some dealers are fixing to be swarmed........
If I wanted a damn governor, I would have bought a 1 Ton............ :bs
