My guess here is that with TC off, you are able to generate slightly larger rear slip angles before Stabilitrak gets interested. Understeer is at least traditionally defined by the difference between front and rear slip angles. The smaller the difference (with the front slip angles being larger) the lighter the understeer. When rear slip angles > front slip angles, you're into an oversteer condition. ST and its yaw sensor probably work a bit differently to come up with more or less the same answers.

If you are feeling that the nanny is getting involved often in Competitive Mode, maybe you should dial back to full TC and work on your line and smoothness.

I think that would mean you got Stabilitrak involved, as TC is supposed to be off in Comp mode.
Serious question - how would you know that either the TC or the ST nanny was getting involved? Without caring which one it was (at least for now), is it that obvious that something kicked in without having to look down for some light in the dash to tell you that it did?
