How to Disable Traction Control on a Camaro
Traction control is an important component of the Camaro. This feature helps the Camaro maintain traction on the road while accelerating, turning and braking. Traction is very important to maintain during these crucial driving actions, but you want to turn off traction control in certain circumstances. Conditions like launching your Camaro or racing at the local track with drag-radials, work better with the traction control off so the rear tires can spin and hook-up.

Tips & Warnings
Traction control resets each time you shut off your car. If you want traction control off, you must turn it off each time you start your car.
Disabling traction control can be dangerous in inclement weather. Traction control should remain on during daily driving and only be turned off when conditions allow.
Disabling the anti-lock brake system in an attempt to permanently disable the traction control is dangerous and not recommended. Doing so can get you into a situation where your brakes will lock up and cause you to lose control of your vehicle.
