Disengagement is normal
The Traction Control is intended for use at lower speeds in poor driving conditions..... ice, snow, slick roads, etc. It functions on the speed differential between the front and rear tires. There is surely logic in the computer that recognizes the anti-lock speed sensor RPM parameters out of the "normal" range and results in a temporary disengagement until they come back in limits.
It disengages at approximately 100 mph with increasing speed and re-engages at 95 mph on decreasing speed. I use the word "approximately", because I am usually focused on the road ahead........
I find this feature most useful as a reminder when I am getting into the expensive ticket region.

OBTW (Oh, By The Way) - There is a programming sequence in the Service Manual that allows you to reset the default state of the system and automatically DISENGAGE the T/C on startup every time. It's into the region of getting "digitally dangerous", as there is a warning that a screw-up will log a fault in the anti-lock system. You will find the info on page 5-205 of the 2005 Srevice Manual.

with a cam, heads, longtubes, corsa, and no cats, the TC definently goes off at 3 digits (165 mph) for me wit a 100 shot of nitrous and 506 rwhp to the rear...haha so yes and it is also quite dumb how it does that
...........and the rest of the story? did the 4 cyl smoke or get
smoked?
Initally, he jumped out in front because I had traffic in my lane. I caught up and passed him, but he stayed up. We both had to work through traffic here and there, I slowed up when we got to the weigh station and he zoomed past me. I then caught up with him and we had a good, clear sprint up well over 100 MPH, me pulling out by a good margin. I noticed the TC light, let up to check things out, and he got by me. I then had to work my way back through some traffic, he was out in the clear, I nailed it, roared by him, then backed off. Gotta say, that little car stayed with me enough to be able to get by when I backed off. Last I saw of him, I let up, he zoomed by, then took the next exit, hand out the window with a big thumbs up.
