The
enhanced system includes dynamic rear brake proportioning capability, electronically
balancing rear brake pressure to prevent lockup. The addition of sideslip angle
rate control to the Active Handling’s software senses whether the driver has
been too slow (or fast) to react to changing vehicle dynamics during evasive
maneuvers, then dials in just the right amount of control to maintain balance.
Another software upgrade assists the driver in maintaining control under light
braking and high lateral acceleration conditions by releasing brake pressure
on the inside rear wheel during lateral acceleration maneuvers.
The
new Second Generation Active Handling System has been refined where it works
in conjunction with the traction control system, resulting in fewer engine sags
and better acceleration when compared to the 2000 system. The new calibration
allows drivers to experience the 2001 Corvette’s power and handling while still
maintaining control over excessive
