No one is arguing with that. (is there an emoticon for "duh!")

However, there have been articles in the past stating that the threshold for intervention of AH is higher in Comp mode. I have no sources (yet) to back this up, and indeed it may be false.

Think about it, if it is exactly as you state then there is no difference between TC off and Comp mode. Why are there two modes then?

I don't have time to find the article now but AH does allow more in comp mode. When I get back I'll attempt to find the documents.

TC off means EVERYTHING, including AH, is off. Comp mode leaves AH on.

with Shurite44 on this.
Do you think that TC and AH are one in the same??? Surely not. SO why wouldn't TC off and AH on be a different mode than both on or both off?

It might on your C5 BUT you are on a C6 Forum.

a) I have a C6 Z06 and a C5.
b) TC being off implies EVERYTHING is off, ie tapping the button once.
c) Competition mode, ie tapping it twice in the C6, leaves TC off/AH on.

First press and release = T/C off. (A/H still on)

Second press and release = Comp. Mode. (T/C off, A/H still on, reduced interference?)

Third press and HOLD = T/C and A/H off.

If by your assumption both T/C & A/H are off in T/C of Mode then why would there be a third function that states both are off?

Nice save on changing your profile. Maybe the Z06 is different than the C6.

Listen this is a legitimate question because I have never even sat in a C6, I am on here to learn about it so I know what is up if and when I buy one.

What is the default mode? The way I read your post then there should be 4 modes, Default, 1 press, 2 press, press and hold.

Am I reading that correctly? My question is when you start the C6 what mode is it in?

Could someone with a C6 owners manual post what it says about the system?

Looking at this post the C6 system is much different than the C5. In the C5 you only have three modes. It looks like the C6 has four modes.
Thanks for the info.
