BTW, you will rarely find a need to turn TC off completely on the street. Comp Mode is the best of all worlds. No traction control at all, yet full Active Handling available to save the day when needed. 
If you ever feel the need to test the 3 modes... find a huge empty parking lot or an empty 4 lane freeway and try some 4500rpm launches. 
First with everything on - and notice how the TC ends the party early by cutting fuel and shutting you down before the tyres even chirp.
Then with everything off - and if you don't pay real close attention you will most likely begin an almighty roling burnout and then if you feather the throttle begin to roll forward and then the car will break loose and violently come around from the left side and either throw you into a ditch, the wall at the drag strip or the next county - which ever is closer...
Then try in Comp Mode - and now you will be able to either do a John Force rolling burnout as you counter steer you way across the parking lot pedaling the throttle and clutch as you reduce your rear tyre mileage from 15,000 miles to about 2,000 miles ---- or if you feather the throttle you will find your self paddling your way through the gearbox to a 4.xs 60 and 12.x something 1/4 mile.
And it will go something like this....

Actually - on second thoughts don't go do anything foolish - the above is all just hypthetical

You should check out this guy's site,
http://www.spdkilz.com/home.html
He's got a Z06, he's a cool guy, and takes he takes excellent care of it. Plus he has some good tutorials for Vette owners, including the short shifter install, and how to install the 'CAGS' defeat (skip shift).

Actually - the only place worth going for Z06 specific information, is well the Z06 website.
http://www.z06vette.com
This is the number 1 Corvette Z06 site on the net.

btw, was it hard to take the first two pics, without the car being unsharp as a result of the slower shutter speed?
