When you start the car hold down the traction control button for 5/7 seconds. The display will read (competive driving)... This will allow you to drive and spin wheels as long as the as the car is still going straight and following the direction of the steering wheel is pointing. If the car starts to slide to far sideways or out of alignment of the steering wheel direction it will activate active handling and straighten the car in the direction of the wheel...

I strongly recomend this if your gonna be there on a friday night traction not so good most times.

it turns TC off but leaves active suspension so its almost impossible to lose control.

they are currently on the rims but they are coming off very soon. you can have them when they are off the rims.

naw not that bad lol ask fran. hes seen them.. my new ones are on order so im gonna prob take them off over the weekend and It would make my day to get them outta the garage this weekend is possible.

BTW: either buy a set of factory speedlines or a set of light weight wheels. my after market Z06 rims are heavier and made a noticeable difference in my ET and MPH

I will be there.We put a CC306 and longtubes on the 95 firebird last week and want to see what it can do.I figure it will either break the rear,spin a bearing from spinning the lt1 to 6700rpms, or run a mid 12.Hopefully the later.
