1. A method for tuning a vehicle'"'"'s performance comprising:
- measuring parameters representing the vehicle'"'"'s current and limit handling conditions;
determining a margin between the vehicle'"'"'s current and limit handling conditions;
characterizing a driver'"'"'s dynamic control of the vehicle based on the margin including determining a duration of time during which the margin falls within a predetermined range and determining a complement of the margin; and
altering a tunable vehicle performance parameter based on the characterization.

Abstract
A method for tuning a vehicle'"'"'s performance may include measuring a plurality of parameters representing the vehicle'"'"'s current handling condition and the vehicle'"'"'s limit handling condition, determining a margin between the vehicle'"'"'s current handling condition and limit handling condition, characterizing the driver'"'"'s dynamic control of the vehicle based on the margin, and altering at least one tunable vehicle performance parameter based on the characterization.

10. A method for tuning a vehicle'"'"'s performance comprising:
-
measuring parameters representing the vehicle'"'"'s current and limit handling conditions, wherein each of the parameters has upper and lower deadband thresholds defining a deadband interval within which the measured parameter may fall without initiating electronic stability control, anti-lock braking or traction control; determining a margin between the vehicle'"'"'s current and limit handling conditions; characterizing a driver'"'"'s dynamic control of the vehicle based on the margin; and altering a tunable vehicle performance parameter based on the characterization. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19)
