Competitive Driving Mode
So what else does this do other than the obvious(TCS off AH on). I've noticed a stiffer pedal when on and it's supposed to make throttle response quicker right? I'm actually noticing maybe worse response in warmer weather with TCS off.
Also a main question is does TCS activate only when it says its active or is it holding back power on aggressive pulls when there isn't spin? Say from a 60 roll where I get no spin, will the power to the ground be exactly the same with TCS off and with TCS on or is it holding back?

Also, the car may feel a little slower when it is running hot because the ECU is pulling timing to keep from pre-detonation (engine knock).
The C5 TCS/AHS is nothing out of this world in terms of advanced car control. it simply measures wheel speed at each corner and when one or more wheel is traveling at a rate significantly different than the others then the brakes will actuate in such a way to bring it back to a similar speed.
Hope this helps

Moved over to the tech side. And do you realize this is a 6+ year old thread.
