I choose pro mode, supposedly with all assists off, but
I can't lock up the tires under braking.
I thought the same at first but I think the brakes just aren't powerful
enough to lock the wheels at speed.
I'm not describing it as a fault with the sim, just the nature of the car
being simulated.

Yeah, American cars aren't known for their brakes ;-)
By contrast, the Lotus locks up very easily under braking. I use a little
throttle to stabilise it.
Now they'll have they model "brake fade" too ;)
Well my first car, a 1964 Ford Country Squire station wagon, the
modern day equivalent of a tank (big trucks would pull out of my
way out of fear), king of many a destruction derby, could lock
up the brakes, but then again I didn't have racing slicks on it.
Later I got cars with disc brakes, 1969 396SS Chevelle, 1969 440
Dodge Charger R/T, back in the days when these cars were cheap
(late 1970's).

To be honest I don't even know what year vette is in the demo, I
suspect the vette came out with disk fronts sometime in the early
sixties and 4 wheel disks 10 years later, I imagine there are sites
that could tell you the exact serial number in the production run.
But effective braking wasn't ever a strong selling point of detroit
muscle cars ;)
Close mid 60's or about 8 years after my lowly TR3 had them... ;)

Did you disable the assists available in the options menu as well? "Pro
Mode" only refers to certain assists. There are a few that don't fall under
its umbrella.
