Nice that your Cobalt is working perfectly as many other donors also have. Thanks for the info about how the 'competition mode' is set up with the traction control button. The launch control is dependent on the traction control which uses the ABS to limit wheel spin.
The focus of this conversation is about the ability of those features to function once a donor has been sacrificed to become a Goblin. As a group it has been determined the no-lift shifting functions in the TCs as it is independent of the ABS or traction control. If there is some way the 'competition mode' is able to function that would be a bonus. Any insight you may have once into your Goblin build or something you may come across on Dr. Google would be greatly appreciated.
