Default traction control

Does your C6 allow some amount of wheel spin (say on a wet road) without providing correction OR does it provide correction for the slightest bit of wheel spin?

Thre's a difference between "Traction Control" and "Active Handling". The TC will allow for some minor spin, especially at lower RPMs, but at higher RPMs and with mods, if you run the car too hard, the TC will literally shut your car down if you are not careful. It's happened to me twice so far, but only after the mods. (Never had a TC issue before my SC install.) Had to shut the car off and wait 3 - 4 minutes for the computer to re-set itself before I could even get back on the road. Kind of scary after sinking all that money into the beast, only to have it shut itself down after hitting 6,000 plus RPMs.
