Camaro Z/28 Flying Car Logic mode
No joke indeed! Performance Traction Helps Camaro Z/28 Soar on TrackAnd from Autoblog... by Brandon Turkus Posted Feb 25th 2014 8:00AM If you're on a race track, there are three simple guidelines that will prevent you from having a very bad time. First, keep the car on the track. Next, keep the shiny side up. Finally, don't hit anything or anybody. If you follow these three rules, you might notice a commonality - keeping all four wheels on the ground. What if, though, you're on a track like the Nürburgring, and you're in a car fast enough to catch some air? Well, if you're the owner of a new Chevy Camaro Z/28, the engineers behind the car have prepared for just such an eventuality. |

So I'm wondering how similar the 5 PTM modes in the Z/28 are to the 5 PTM modes in the ZL1? Does the ZL1 have this "flying car" logic or was this a new thing integrated into GM's PTM?

I have never owned a car with active traction modes and I always thought one would be faster with it disabled. So based on this the ring run video was using traction control???

Per that video, he said it saves up to 5 seconds on the lap. SO if the ZL1 doesn't have this "flying car" logic that means the Z/28 is about the same time or slower than the ZL1 (when not using "flying car" logic).

I still think that with better weather conditions the Z/28 will turn an even better time. So I would still guess its faster than a ZL1. That being said either one is faster than 99% of us can drive. Hell my 1LE is faster than I can make bot go on a track. I'm definitely the weakest link.

"Flying car logic"...would THAT have saved THIS?!
This is one of TWO unfortunate results at Road America, for TWO different CTS-Vs after cresting the hill before the turn...NO BRAKES! On Lap 2... |

Oh, I have seen this before, this is not new...
KITT had it on KnightRider, but they called it "turbo boost."
