Car & Driver - look out for an upcoming mention...

[SYO237]

Got an email from Car & Driver asking for info about the SyTy on an upcoming article being written about the Trailblazer SS.

I offered up the info they asked for and a bit more, plus extended my help to anything else they needed with maybe a hopeful follow up from the Sept 1991 Issue of the Syclone vs Ferarri 348ts, "The $96,000 Sting".

Dunno whats in store for the article, but hopefully we are mentioned in a positive manner.


The mag coverage has been kickass lately, ya know?

From what I understand, you can't totally turn it off on these, it still engages for warranty purposes....from what I understand....dunno never road in it, but is what I heard.

I think theyre gay. They need to stop making show off bling bling trucks and go back to the raw. Thats what I always liked about our trucks. Theey just have a raw look to them. IMO.

Yeah its called torque management, it keeps the transmission from breaking by backing down spark adv. during shifts and progressively open the throttle blade.

Now there's a difference between these new SUV's and our old ones.

I have a friend who drags a Buick GS and he takes the fuse out. Kills TC completely. Lets him do burnouts an everythang.

The only way it can be totally turned off is to use something like this

The Diablo Predator will remove torque management as will a reprogram of the ECM like Westers, etc.
