We would prove this to journalists with the C5 corvette - the best way to illustrate the C5's stabilitrak was to put the car on a figure 8 track - put pylons on the banked curbs - wet the track down - and then have the car slalom thru the cones - with and without stabilitrak.
Without it - 99 percent of the time the car would spin out spectacularly as the car came off of the curved bank into the crossover......
With it - it's almost like the hand of God reaching down to take control.

Oh Crap-I didn't notice who I responded to until after I posted. Mr. fbodfather, I mean absolutely no disrespect to you. You're comment is most definitely valid and I didn't mean to imply that it wasn't. I consider any and all of your posts to be without a doubt information that everyone needs to listen to (kinda like EFHutton (this is meant as a compliment)). My original post I guess was unclear-I do know you will stop hydroplaning eventually-either with good or bad results. I got a little irritated a while back about a guy that posted how he wrecked his car after hydroplaning and his stabilitrak supposedly never kicked in and then he wanted to blame it on GM. I guess now I am just venting.
Anyway I just want you to know that I love my car, I love Chevrolet (although I wish I wasn't forced to have so many amenities just get the opportunity to own and drive one of the most badasterik vehicles GM has ever produced) and I certainly hope that you don't take to heart all the complainers that don't know what a Camaro truly is even if it is or isn't what it used to be.
