saw a segment on the news about the 2012 requirent for vehicles to have anti-rollover potection. The technology uses braking and steering control to reduce the chance of rollover. do you think this will kill autocrossing?

Corvettes have had active handling for years. When I first got my C5 I tested the TCS / AH in wet & dry conditions and found out that I was MUCH faster with the electonic crap turned off (even with just AH on). That being said I always leave active handling on for street use, but always disable traction control. So if someone wants to use their electronic helpers then that is fine with me, they are losing seconds by using it. I know one guy with a C5 always leaves it on after he wrecked his first Z06 in an autocross after hitting a curb.
