  • WTF is up with our crappy traction control?

    Why the hell does our car still bog down and regain traction you mash it even when the traction control button is off? Its stupid! Is there too much engine motion and wheel hop like on the srt-4s? It was raining out and I figured it was ok to light them up a bit in the rain and I couldnt do squat!!! How retarded!

    It torque managment that holds you back even with TC off. If you have a PCM tune like I do form Tune Time (westers) you can get it deleted like I did. Its GREAT with no more torque managment to mess with you Only issue with no torque managment all all that torque from the 3900 is that you almost always need TC on now or you just stand still burning your tires up

          Your RPMs have to be up. If your still spining tires at like 2500-3000 RPMs Torque managment kicks in and kills power to the engine.

              How is this a modification? Perhaps theres an issue with your TPS. Mine won't open past 39 percent unless my speed is greater than 25.

                  With TC off I can spin the tires right to redline.

                    Really? I know what stubs is talking about. My car use to do it all the time esp when you REALLY didnt want to. Its like the engine reduces power......... Both you guys have manual? I know TSL2000 does. what about you maxx? I have an auto, could be just an automatic thing with torque management maybe

                      maxx would not have a manual because only G6s came with them.

                        Yeah, Malibu's don't come with sticks . And to top it off, my 'tap shift' is a button on the side that I press up and down - I can't even knock the stick around and pretend .

                              I figured it all out. Stubs has a GT and as such his engine isn't strong enough to keep spinning the tires to redline.
