What exactly does it do? Does it deactivate traction control, or stabilitrak? Does it just reduce the effectiveness of them? No one seems to know.
Pretty simple, it allows more tire spin while still minimizing sideways movement.

In simplest form, (I believe) Traction Control reduces tire spin by reducing engine power, fuel and timing.

Stabilitrak is a system that applies braking to the wheel spinning faster to prevent oversteer, or in competitive mode, minimize it.
