    Help -w/traction control and bad bogging burnouts!

    Corvette Engineers and Development

    Rob hit it!! Rob you're right on track with your comments about the dedication and resolve of the Corvette designers and engineers. When you see something that looks wrong, or designed poorly you can bet it was tried a different way and for some reason just didn't make it to production...

    When I floor it it doesn't go!!

    Vettegirl- My '98 is EXACTLY like that with the traction control on. Just like the old carb vehicles. Makes me flip out every time I forget about "the fun governor" (traction control) being on.
