Default Secret High Performance mode

I heard a rumor that if the traction control/active handling button is depressed for 10-15 seconds, the C5 will go into a secret high performance mode. Does anyone know if this is true? :confused:

(edited)... DANG IT RHILL!!... GOT YOUR POST OFF BEFORE I COULD :mad

And you only have to hold it for 5 seconds. :D
That's right, no more than 5 seconds... If you hold it for 10, you activate the super-secret passenger eject mode. :eek:

Please remember this... I've seen enough accidental ejections into rush hour traffic in one lifetime. :yesnod:

:cheers:

The sad part is it was probably a Chevy salesman saying it! It always amazes me what they will tell someone who is looking at a car. I won't even bother to tell you what one told my friend when asking if he should get the A4 or the MN. :crazy:
