Another traction control issue

I searched and couldn't find anything similar to the issue i am having. I have a 2021 zle, manual. Today I drove it on good tight curvy road and noticed it seemed very boggish coming off of corners, more so than usual so I turned traction and stability off which seemed to help slightly but still boggish. I turned on pdr to see if traction control was still intervening, watched the video and it was constantly flashing off of every corner even when babying it on tight turns. Doing pulls, the car seemed as strong as ever but i noticed that very light throttle, it seemed like it had a hesitation to it. Just wondering if anyone else has ever had any similar issues. Also worth mentioning is that I did have 1 tire that was 1psi off from the rest. The passenger side rear was 27psi while all the rest were at 28psi.

Possibly pulling timing? It is getting warmer outside and these cars are notorious for getting heat soaked and pulling timing. Maybe try burping the intercooler system, or buy an expansion tank.

What mode are you driving in? Advanced Track Mode, it will pull timing rather than closing the throttle if the traction control kicks in. Specially if the tires are cold.

I was in track mode and held the traction button for 10 seconds to cut off traction and stability and those two lights were on, on the cluster.

What tires are you running? 28 psi is low you need to be at in the low to mid 30s of your going to be taking turns.

Maybe bump them up to 32 and try it again.

If you held it down for 10 seconds you should have zero intervention… I’ve done that several times before heading out onto “The Balcony” skid-pad at Willow Springs and there is zero intervention after that, every medium/hard throttle immediately spins the tires. Anything less than this 10+ sec full off leaves SC intervention that prevents uninhibited wheel-spin

Right, and I have pdr video to prove it so I believe I will take it to the dealership. I unhooked the battery for 2hrs and took it out today and used pdr to record video. I turned traction and stability off by holding the button for over 10 seconds and on the video you can see the traction symbol flashing for every corner exit and i can the lack of power so something is wrong. Made sure to get the tires all to 32psi. It did as it should after i stopped to eat and then started it and turned all nanies off and it spun like a beast taking off in first gear. Later up the road taking off from a stop light it wouldn't spin a bit with all nanies off and pdr showed it was intervening.
