@ 80mph Reduced Power Traction Control ERROR
When driving at aprox. 80 mph the 01' coupe drops power, even when you press the accelerator.
The error light: Traction Control active ?
I then have to press the console button to turn off the Traction control system.
The car resumes regular speed then. The error message stays on.
Any suggestions as to the fix.
Car is still on GMPP warranty.

Sounds like your front tires are slightly larger in diameter than the rears. This can happen even if the front rims are smaller than the rears.

Must be the F45 Variable Real Time Damping System. Various vendors have the Bilsteins (to pick one) in the range of $300 for four. There are threads on how to disable the F45 system and use Z06 shocks/sway bars for a more conventional (and aggressive, per some writers) setup.

Post what your front/rear tire sizes are to confirm.
