TRACTION CONTROL COMPETITIVE MODE? - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

I found out today if you push the traction control twice it has a competitive mode. Does every already know this and how is it different from turning it completely off? Did I miss something, dont remember it in the manual but I probably skipped it. I have TheLs3 manual tranny.

yep, pretty much everyone knows this. Pressing the button once turns off traction control, allowing you to slip and spin wheels more freely and not "wheel hop". Pressing it twice engages the competitive mode (or launch control) which when you have it in 1st, clutch in, accelerator to the floor, the computer will set your rpm's at a predetermined rate (4K rpm) and when you dump the clutch, signals are sent to the engine's computer from your rear wheels to help reduce spinning. But in most tests, a good driver can perform a better launch manually. hope this helps. you should try it, it's fun on a closed course of course
