Z51/ MSRC question
I went to the local skid pad today to play around with the different modes in the track setting.
The first pass I held the TC button for 10 seconds and turned TC and Stabilitrak completely off. This mode provided lots of drifting practice and was a hoot!
I then put the car in Track Mode- PTM in Race mode. Per the manual, the TC and the Stabilitrak should have been completely turned off. It wasn't.
I had the electronics come on as I attempted to slide the car. It was a challenge to get the car to rotate.
I turned the car off and restarted. I went into Track mode and PTM Race. Still the electronic aids came on.
What am I doing wrong? It seems per the manual that all aids should be OFF in Race mode.
Thanks for the help.

Vnamvet-
I believe the launch control should still function in Track/Race mode coming off the line, which would explain why you aren't getting wheel spin. The manual states that this mode should have TC and Stabilitrak off, which is why I'm confused as it wasn't off.
Anyone else played around with turning off traction control competely?

Speedracer11, this has been discussed here earlier but it just kinda died on the vine.
It bugs me that when you go into PTM mode the active handling off indicator is on in all of the 5 modes when it should only be on in mode 4 and 5 if even then.

C7's are NOT designed for "drifting". Drifting is equal to ...Ok! Do as you please with your C7 even if it is not even close to smart!
