It should be active no matter what mode you're in (I'd probably stay in Sport to be on the safe side)
In 5th ZL1s and C6 ZR1s its active all the time, just make sure you rev it out, stab the clutch, yank the gear, and get off the clutch as fast as you can. NO granny shifting. Note: If you push the clutch in well below redline (AKA 5500 RPM) the RPM will flare damn near instantly to true redline, 6500 RPM I believe, and it could be scary. Don't forget, NLS is going to let the car rev to redline, not hold at the RPM you pushed the clutch at. Make sure you have the throttle wide open while you're doing it or it will cancel the function and you'll bang painfully off the limiter.
Can't stress enough that this is not a feature to use just because, and again, NO granny shifting. If you're NLSing, you're going to max performance and you'd better be shifting good. If you don't execute the shift rapidly, the car will cancel it and you'll watch the RPM hold for fractions of a second before it just lets hit the limiter until you let off.
I would NOT try it at 5500 either, or the RPM's will "whip lash" in a way. If you try it you'll see what I mean. Rev it to 6200-6500 and stab the clutch, yank the gear, and get off the clutch as fast as you can. Make sure you're paying attention and your shift is executed in half a second or less. (I say this not because that's how long it will hold RPM, it will hold it longer, but you want to aim at shifting in that period of time).
Watch this video:
It's a Viper but the same theory. You need to AIM at shifting like that, even if you are slower.

Yes. This and much more. It's gentler on the car than traditional manual power shifting.
