Took me a little bit to get used to the clutch versus my Trans AM and I was shifting from first to second and I was getting on it pretty good shift point from 1 to 2 was like 6000RPM and when I hit 2 it felt like the clutch slipped and then slowly released effectively lowering the RPMs, is this traction control or what? the clutch just felt weird I'm not used to that I have a spec stage 3 in my trans am and when you let it go it grabs violently lol

Did you disable the nannies by holding down the TC toggle switch for 6 seconds beforehand?

Toggle once to disable TC but keep ESC.

Press and hold for more than 5 seconds to disable both TC and ESC.

Otherwise, "If a driving condition activates either the [ESC or the TC] system you may experience the following . . . Your vehicle slows down. Reduced engine power. . . ." (p. 146 of owner's manual).
