Default Z06 Active Handling Not Working

Posting this for a good friend. He has a 2007 Z06 that he bought a few months ago. When you "jump on it" and the car gets sideways the active handling indicator shows that it's working but nothing happens. Other times it feels like it's over correcting. I drove the car as well and it doesn't feel like mine at all, which works properly. The tire pressure monitoring sensors (TPMS) are not working properly but I'm not too sure if that would cause such a problem. Has anyone experienced a similar issue? If so, what was the solution?

The more power that the car has, the more difficulty the active handling system has to control things. It is unrealistic to expect to be able to just put the pedal down all the way and have the system keep the car from sliding around and becoming hard to control. With 505 horsepower, the car will be harder to control than a regular C6, both for the driver and for the active handling system.
