Randy Pobst left stability control on when testing C7 Vette In this post about Randy Pobst testing the new C8 against the C7, there's this interesting bit of info:
“If you’re a follower of MotorTrend, you have heard my complaints about the way the C7 drives at the limit,” Pobst said. “Or more accurately, the way it drives over the limit of grip so suddenly. The car has the dubious distinction of being one of the only test cars in which I leave the stability control on, albeit in the minimal setting, as insurance against an embarrassing and possibly dangerous spin on my hot laps as a result of its sudden snap power oversteer.”
Interesting... I had no idea. Maybe I need to start reading MT, ha ha.
