Sorry, i know nothing regarding your car set ups.

Thanks for the reply. I only show Touring, Sport, and track. Nothing else. I keep forgetting to try to access the other modes via holding the traction control button when in track mode.

Ya check it out and see if you actually have PTM. Without an e diff you may not.

No question when one mashes the go pedal TC will immediately restrict power lest the car would go into immediate oversteer. I had noticed the power restriction only once thus far when i was too eager and imo it lost me much momentum. So i prefer progressive power pretty much driving it as id drive any other car feeling for the traction limit.

Most of the info (really good info) in the first post is based on a 2015 Corvette, are we sure it all still applies the same to the 2017-18 Camaro? Good ask Al question

Good question. I have actually tested invoking all modes, so that aspect is surely valid, as are the mode types and their design principles. Hence i believe that the engineer's comments would apply equally to any car with PTM.

However, i suspect that actual calibrations would differ, as such is the case even between SS 1LE and ZL1 for example - to account for different weight distribution, power levels, track width, etc. Just as i would expect calibrations to vary between say a Stingray and a Z06, etc. At least thats what i recall reading somewhere, but happy to stand corrected.

Bottom line, it is the same system, designed for the same purpose, offering the same mode choices and marshaling the same resources (MRC, ELSD, etc) as the one that resides in the Vette GS, as SS 1LE is almost a true copy of that car technically speaking.

Nevertheless, asking Big Al would surely be a good idea indeed!

If you want to see if you have any PTM, hit traction control twice when in track mode. Don't hold it down. That just turns everything off. I doubt you have the PTM modes though, I believe that is only paired with the e-diff.

yes, Thank you TrackClub, really good in depth info. So far I've set my best lap times using Sport 2, but plan to work more on Race!

Gave it a try and it looks like we V61LE owners do not have PTM. I can enable competitive mode and the 'all nannies off" mode but nothing else.

Holy cow, I tried competitive mode and it's like a different car!
