How many of you ran your car with TC and got a better time?

fastrob691

Strip or road course?

That being said i went faster in Comp mode at both venues.

I am fastest at track days with Traction Control OFF. Comp mode doesn't like the corner speeds I try to go at running slicks.

Road course, the comp mode will start to hinder you quite a bit if you are chasing that absolute time. Inevitably though, comp mode will save your car in certain situations, or if you make a mental error and get into trouble.

Some people get over confident because they can handle a little slide/oversteer, but when the slide gets big and they are hand flailing, in the wall it goes. Comp mode can let you have fun but keep the car safer.

Admittedly not a great driver but i am faster in comp mode at track days for sure. If nothing else cause I am not scared that I am going to destroy my baby if i push hard. But hard for me is what real track rats would likely call 7/10th.

Strip..and what is comp mode? I'm not exactly sure.

Competitive mode with traction control off
Hold the traction control button down for more then 5 secs....
it will turn traction control off but if you get bent out of shape will help you straighten out.

Only a couple days so far on the road course and still getting used to the car with the 620hp 416 I pulled out of my 02 camaro.

I had a very good idea where the limit was on the camaro and would put it there regularly. Had a belt come off, hit a fuel line and most of the car burnt up, so still getting the feel on the vette. I'm guessing I'm only at 7/10 of the cars ability even with the NT01 rubber. Still need to swap over the track pads and get some harnesses.

This last weekend I ran two sessions. I Usually run in comp mode but forgot to turn anything off. The computer slowed me down considerably. I could feel it cutting power as I got more aggressive. The next session I went to comp mode and had none of that and was considerably faster.

I'm not sure when/if I'll turn it all off, as when I get this beast finished up I will drive very aggressive at the track, but will still like to have just a little nanny there to catch me should I make a mistake.

You will eventually find a time when Comp mode bites you and then you'll turn it off. Especially with a big motor, you're going to want to use some yaw to rotate the car and Comp mode won't allow it.

Dose anyone know what it means when your traction control and ASB light come on at the same time. ...been watching videos on YouTube and noticed that a lot c5 z06 do that...and mine did it the other day..??

I don't disagree with that. I just need more seat time to get a better feel for the car to the point I can drive it as well as I did the camaro. Even with the suspension upgrades to the camaro and driving it most of the time at 10/10 I'm sure this car is faster once I get enough experience with it to go 9/10. At this point I'm still more concerned with getting "bit" with all the nannies off.

We plan on working up to the "all me" at some point next year when the temps drop below 150 degrees again here in Phx.

My first time at the drag strip my better times were with the TC on. But after some practice I can launch much better and use competition mode.
