New ZL1 coming

Hey all. Pretty new here and for sure with a high tech car like this ZL1 that I ordered. I will admit I am no professional racer and will do all learning before I go all out on this car but my question is all this sport and track modes confuse me. Is there a factory setting for just driving around town normal and does that automatically go in when you start up the car?

Yes when you put the key in and start it the car is automatically in the mode most intended for regular street use/daily driving. Now if you want a more spirited street driving experience then you can start using some of the PTM modes. If you go onto youtube and search for the chevy channel they have a video that explains what all the PTM modes do and what they are intended for. There are actually quite a few education ZL1 videos made by Chevrolet for the ZL1 owners to get to know their cars. Check them out on Chevy's youtube channel.

BTW congrats on the new ZL1. They are an awesome car!!

Bargeratt, CONGRATS on the ride, and Welcome to our happy little corner of the net, and to Camaro5. There is a BIG fridge on the back porch with anything you can think of in it...help yourself...of course only take what you can LEGALLY have. Make yourself at home on one of the big fluffy couches, kick your shoes off, put your feet up on one of the tables, yes we are allowed to do that, mom's, wive's, husbands, girlfirends and boyfriends here don't care....and take it easy.



oh...btw....every once in a while a food fight breaks out...so you may not want to wear nice clothes here.

Welcome!!
