Default Competitive Driving Mode?

Does anyone know what year Comp driving mode began? And were they optional equipment (I know that the Z's have it standard)

Thanks

I believe it's an option. I know some of the 99 FRC's had comp mode. It's standard in 02 and up Z06's.

Comp Mode came in with the advent of Active Handling, mid-year 1998. It remained an extra-cost option through model year 2000. Active handling (and Comp Mode) became stardard on all Corvettes in MY 2001.

sounds like it must've been an optional item??? Definitely a cool safety option; they should all have it!
