Default C7 Z51 active handling ABS

I've owned the car for 8 days now and have been on the track [ PIRC ] two days.
I pulled the fuse to disable the active handling but I also didn't have ABS.
Was not a problem but it still would be nice to have the ABS. I was told that there was a way to have the ABS without the active handling. How??

The car ran within 3 seconds of what I ran with my C4 race car. ELATED

You know you're in the C6 section?

On the C6 you can turn off the nannies with the Traction Control button on the center console

Well, maybe you are doing it wrong. Here's how it's supposed to work:

1. Default mode when you start the car is TC and AH full on

2. One push of the button - TC is off

3. Two quick pushes of the button - TC off, AH in Comp mode

4. A long push and hold of the button - TC off, AH completely off
