how does 08 impala ss turn off stabilitrac
I thought I saw an older post that stated it couldn't be turned off on some models/years, not sure if that's true.
If it's like the GXP, hold down the TC button for 5-6 seconds, when you release the button the DIC should display TC disabled and then Stability Control disabled. It's a bit sensitive, if you don't hold the button down long enough, just TC is disabled, if you hold it too long, nothing happens (I suppose this is a failsafe in case something heavy was left on the console and hit the button by mistake.)

Our friends over at Jalopnik say the CTS-V is officially fair game now, so here we go. Now that the second generation Cadillac CTS is on the streets and garnering largely positive reviews for its looks, performance and handling dynamics, the time has come to turn it up a notch. The 2008 Detroit Auto Show will bring us the second generation high-performance CTS-V model. Just as the original 2004 version used an engine derived from the top Corvette of the time, so too does the new model. The 2009 CTS-V leap-frogs its chief competitor - the BMW M5 - with GM's new LSA V8 derived from the LS9 in the Corvette ZR1.
The goal of the CTS-V development team was to create a car with the poise and sophistication of the best luxury sedans melded with the outstanding performance of a high sports car. To achieve that they installed the supercharged 6.2L V-8 with an output of 550 horsepower and 550 lb-ft of torque into a heavily upgraded chassis and then went about dressing up both the interior and exterior to match. Read all about the new CTS-V after the jump.

Try holding the traction control button down. I remember just pressing it once turns traction control off, but if you continue to hold it down, shuts off stabilitrack, I THINK. I know it shut something else off in my 06 Impala. That is how it works in my tbss anyhow. I think thats kind of a chevy/gm method.

.Yes, it is a fine automobile....I get to drive it sometimes. It sits on custom HRE 790R's, 20x9 in the front, 21x10.5 in the rear....black on black, dark tint. It gets a lot of looks
