Default When Racing....TC Off, AH On (Comp Mode)

Considering the little insurance this does provide (at least mental) does anyone else use this setup when at the strip...?

I can't thoink of a good reason not do. Like you say it does provide some insurance and isn't going to slow you down unless you get some serious yaw.

Well I can think of a good reason not to, at least for my self. When power shifting IF your unlucky enough to do the shift right where a moron droped water in front of you from there A/C and the car snaps hard,(@85% to the wall) I do prefer trying to drive out of it(I did) without worrying if the AH is going to hit an inside brake or cuting power an take even more control away from driveing out of it. Do what YOU think is best, I know I do. Ric

Shut the GM systems off.

However, if you ever get a chance to drive a Porsche GT2 with their version (a 5k option vs. a 5c option) then it might be different.

I truely believe that a decently modded C5 can whip a Porsche GT2 but when talking engineering Porsche has it together and their system is race proven/engineered where the GM system is an after thought.

I NEVER run AH or TC at a drag strip. I think GM and Porshe set up there AH for turns. I don't think the AH system is tuned to straighten you out when it see big yaw, and zero steering angle under hard straight line acceleration. Especialy with cement walls right next to you as on a drag strip. JMO Ric
