We all know there is more to it than that, but I always thought it was a funny quote!
True that. I beat up on Z06 drivers a few weeks go by over 10 seconds on high speed auto-X (regular track at balls out speed). All I had then was my sway bars, now I got the full package for this weekend.

I'd like to give auto-X a try and have a question for you that have the experience. Do you take the nannies off, enter into performance mode (two button taps) or just TC off and Stabiltrak on.............or????
Thanks in advance-

Jim

For beginners I would leave everything on. As you get experience turn it all off. That competition mode is crap in my opinion. You just have to learn to control the gas when it starts to break loose

True!

Even now, I will leave them on for the first run if it's cool out to help me from getting too crazy with the cold tires.
Sorry for the thread jacking!
