Computer settings

Kind of a nooooob question, but how do you completely turn off the active handling on an 07 Z. I know if you press the button in the middle console, it will turn off TC and/or turn on sport mode. I want all computers off.

Thanks

And if you're a noob, why on Earth would you want to disable the system? Are you anxious to redecorate a guardrail or something?

I had all the systems on, was taking heavy downhill turn fast, hit a bump, back end came out, got alittle sideways and glad that system was there. I was scared my steering correction and slight tap of the brakes would lead to over-correction the *** coming out the other direction. That didn't happen, otherwise I be in the guard rail.

I wasn't sure if it was going save me and correct the turn but it did. Needless to say, it was alittle scary.
