Well, I don't have snow, so I can only compare on wet pavement, but the AH in the C6 does a better job than whatever I have in my M3. Not sure I'm convinced they're that similar.

I always thought the A/H button was just a fake button linked to the dash, you mean it actually works?

i do this on a daily basis - which could be why my 1st set of tires lasted only 10k miles...

You got 10k miles out of a set of tires! Wow. You should change your screen name to "Granny".

Thankfully, TC and AH kicked in and straightenend me out, but who knows were I would've been without them intervening. Now, of course hindsight bias, but it just just slightly rain and just let off so the roads were very slick (as I came to find out later). Had a 350Z previously and was used to the torque, and the way it behaves, in that car. Temps were about 50, so not too bad. Live and learn, but I have been A LOT more careful and respectful of this car ever since.

From what I've seen, our AH and TC allow some slip before kicking in.

Exact same thing happened to me, temp was about 45 and roads were dry. Traction control and active handling were on.

Yep works. Just like those big chrome pedestrian crossing buttons...but only if you hit it once otherwise THEY know because of cameras mounted on the poles.
