Hey Guys, Finally bought my first real sports car on friday and drove it 1100 miles home. So thrilled that I got a 2001 corvette and not a stang or Evo. Can't even believe that I was considering anything else looking back now. However, 150 miles into my trip home my fuel gauge quit working lol. I was so excited that I was going get to watch my mpg and range on the trip, yet I had to guesstimate the whole way. Was Still an amazing drive and I'm totally in love with my vette. I do have a question however and hope someone can shed some light on it. In second gear at around 4500 rpm ( no where near red line ) I'm loosing power and my dash lights up with the traction control symbol. It was wet out the two days I've noticed this and maybe it's nothing. Am I just being paranoid lol ? Look forward to reading this forum and talking with other vette owners!

Hi, No I tested this yesterday and I haven't had any issues in 2nd with the TC off. So I'm assuming that my issue was the TC doing its job lol.
