TQ management

[LMB 4 ME]

Does turning off "torque management" (by way of computer tune) have anything to do with the traction control system?
If TQ management is turned off does traction control and active handling still kick in the same when needed?

Good Question....... Any thoughts out there....

No sir, it is not in the traction system

TM is the PCM/ECM pulling timing & power to help protect the drivetrain.....as Rascelle states, has nothing to do w/TC or AH.

When you tune out most of TM, just make sure you hang on for dear life.

What a difference it makes with TM removed!

Yeah.... I'm wondering how much torque management the new ZR1 is going to have programmed in.........

Probably very little, which is why they require the buyer to have previously owned a Corvette - AND go to their performance driving school before they sign the car over to you.

Really? That is a requirement prior to purchase? Even if you can demonstrate that the car you presently drive comes pretty close in matching (or even exceeding) the power of the ZR1?

Honestly, I think any salesman having a customer walk away from a $100K plus sale because of such a requirement is going to back pedal when he sees that sale evaporating when the potential customer gets all huffy about it.

Just out of curiosity, WHERE is this driving school held? Unless they have one within easy driving distance of every dealer selling a ZR1, I can see this being a real problem....

I don't know where it's held, but yes I read that they were going to make them take a class or two on the car. Probably to limit their liability for a high speed crash like the one that tore the Ferrari Enzo in half out on wacky world, I mean Kali-for-ne-ahh.

Is TM worth turning off? I certainly do not want to hurt my transmission / drivetrain in the long run.
