T/c on or off for drag race?

Will the traction control keep the tires from spinning, so better for drag racing? Have only 2000 miles on mine, so not used to it yet

Jamie this is only my opinion, but I always drag in 'Comp' mode.... Traction control off, Active handling on.
The Traction control will cut your fuel if it activates and really cost you time. The Active Handling will provide some protection in case she starts getting away from you.

Mike

Does this mean Active Handling has no impact on time? Very cool......

Thanks

I haven't dragged mine yet, but I would say comp mode. If the Active Handling would need activation then your time has gone down the tube already anyway and the Active Handling at that point is doing just what it's suppose to do by saving you.

I turn the t/c off. With DR's it feels fine, when I use to do it with stock tires, it got a little hairy

Little confused about Active Handling, and TC.
In my Z06, I only have one button that I thought turned off AH and TC together.
How do you turn off just TC, and AH & TC?

Thanks!

Push down on the button and hold it till the DIC reads "Competition" mode. This is AH on and TC off. Allot safer than turning both off.
