Anyone drive their Camaro in Track Mode extremely often on the roads?
So this question is not from me driving it in Track Mode on the daily. It is from when I see Ferrari's at the Cars & Coffee events I go to and you can visibly see what mode they have the dial set to and I would say half have it set to "Race".
Does anyone drive their Camaro's this way? or are these Ferrari drivers crazy? |

Im pretty sure they don't all drive it in track/Race mode cause that is the most hardcore suspension and transmission set up and not fun unless ur prolly going fast or on the track. They prolly just set it in that mode for people to look at and wonder if they do drive it Race mode all the time.

I only mess with that when I'm racing or doing 0-60's/0-100's. I usually drive around with tcs on too

I always switch it to competition mode when the weather is nice, and it's my daily driver.
It tightens the steering ratio and increases the effort. If I didn't have electric power steering I would save it for spirited driving sessions or the track.

I tried launch mode a few times and comp mode when I did a track day, but I usually leave the systems on.

I had no idea that Competition Mode changed the steering. I will have to give it a try.

I guess I am confused. I thought we had four settings. All assists on, traction control off(one push), Competitive mode(double push) and then traction control and stability control off (hold down for 8 seconds). Someone please educate me!
It is almost second nature for me to double click the button and go into Competitive Mode everytme I drive my car.

I am in Sport Mode 95% of the time, but rarely turn off the TC and/or ST.
