COMPETITIVE MODE AND LAUNCH CONTROL (V8) DIRECTIONS - Page 6 - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

These features are nice but they are something else to go wrong. Real drivers don't need fancy features to drive their cars, I like Everything manual, transmission, brakes, steering, get a real sense of the car.

"wow nice launch dude "yea all me bro all me" LMAO

Your comment is lame. This is a feature the owner/operator can use or not use. You can use this feature or not and play hero all day - it’s your choice.

Just because the Mustang doesn't offer this technology doesn't mean it shouldn’t be included in more sophisticated cars.

So what's you point?

At this point, I just want to play with the SS in all it's modes. I'll decide what's right for me.

Same as in the Vettes

no, its called off.
competitive mode is different. it still corrects MASSIVE oversteer and understeer. it also controls wheel spin to an optimal level
