Default Plain english tc/ah settings on c6 (no ptm)

I've talked to guys & read the owners manual (rubbish).

My c5z had /all on/all off/ and comp. Easy

My c6z has all on (default at start engine) all off (10 sec push hold) and what the heck are the two in between?
PLEASE don't muck up the conversation with the PTM system, I DON'T have it.

Thanks.

I need to test this out, but does anyone think they would be quicker in AUTOCROSS (don't confuse with track handling, way different) in comp mode?

In my c5z I always had everything off (except rain), but I wonder if the c6z is a little different.

I will of course test it back to back runs, easy to do. But interested if anyone has experience or well thought out theories. The steering thing maybe?

All depends, and if the autocross track is fast enough, the corners are wide enough to run the car loose skating instead.

Most parking lot tracks run the cones pretty tight in the corners, so not enough room to let the rear end pivot around on the nose in the corner for a fast lap run isntead.


On the other hand, have seen some autocross sets up that running nannies all off will produce faster lap times with enough room/speed into the corners to skate the car in and push hard with the back end stepping out isntead.

So you are saying if the corners are wide enough to throttle steer the car (slide the back out under control) you would turn all off?

Yes no nannies, and come hot in the corner with enough speed/ braking to get the back end to step out to the outside on the way in to corner on weight transfer, without AH kicking in the ABS pump trying to correct that as well.

Thanks that's more/less how I drive it, I will see if comp mode helps on the Miata courses.
