With the car on push and hold the trac/control button for more then 7 seconds that should put it in comp mode.

Check to if you have the RPO code JL4 "ABS/TCS Active Handling" in your options listing. If not you may only have the Traction Control feature. JL4 began to be installed midway thru the '98 model year (for Corvettes built after 12/15/97 I think). In '98 models you have to be stationary for it to engage. Also, if you have it "Competition Mode" will also display on the DIC. :cheers:

Where do I find my options? When I tried to hold the traction control button down for a length of time to put it in comp. mode, it displayed brake before shifting?

You probably don't have Active Handling, you may just have Traction Control.... that explaims it.

If the button just says Traction Control, you don't have Active Handling -- or Competitive Mode.
