2013 c6 issue

I got a concern guys. Does anyone know why my checking light was flashing and my traction system fault light came on when I took a long curve at 130? I know it’s a little fast. But since my car has the dry sumo shouldn’t it be ok? Has anyone had this issue?

It was probably active handling keeping you from being a news headline crash, this time.

bravo29-I am on track quite often at speeds higher than that and never get any CEL's for it.The car is not designed to put CEL on just because your over a certain speed.If CEL comes on your car has an issue that is not related to the speed car is going

i have recently had the service traction system light come. but only just after a start up ( normal driving situations ). as soon as i turn off / on the traction control systems, all seems to be fine. my local shop did mention a month or so ago, that the one of the front shocks is starting to leak a bit.
