 Stabilitra c keeps the car "stable", or going in the direction you want. It won't (or shouldn't) let you spin out. Competitive mode allows for a little more slip so the car "feels" racier. Btw, this is your friend A little self reliance is always nice.

WTF?!? I only hit one search icon thingy. I didn't mean to be a dick about it as it looks like in the post. It's probably because I'm on my phone. Idk

competitive mode is just reduced power loss. it lets you slip more but it will still grab
stabillitrac engages the brake on the outside rear tire when you start to slide. |

It doesn't reduce the power, as much as try to manage that power to avoid wheel spin during hard launches such as at the 1/4 mile track.

what i meant was in standard mode when the wheel spins it reduces your throttle(power) by 75 percent, and in competitive mode it reduces your throttle by 50 percent. it will allow the car to get more squirmy before it engages also. but stabillitrac is untouched and still completely active |
