The absence of the ELSD on the convertible is also driven by marketing.
GM knows that 99.9% of the buyers in the market for a convertible have no plans to ever track their car. Heck, the majority of tracks won’t allow convertibles on them without some form of approved roll protection. As Gunkk pointed out, the engineering costs to make the ELSD fit around the added bracing isn’t justified when the vast majority of convertibles will never drive a single lap on a track.

Would be nice to have it. It isn’t just a track item, but oh well. If I could have order it with the eLSED, PDR, homelink and front cameras I would have done so.

What bothered most about my ‘13 ZL1 convertible was not the absence of the PTM modes but that a lot of third party products, especially exhausts, were not compatible with the convertible because of the extra bracing.
I’m guessing some of you 6 Gen vert owners have already experienced compatibility issues with some 3rd party products. After three Camaro convertibles, the compatibility issue was the biggest driving force that made me move to a coupe when I bought my ‘17 ZL1.

I’m pretty content with ESC Competitive mode, but what’s really the practical difference between eLSD vs LSD?
In what type of scenario is it better? |

Basically the eLSD helps the racing situations.
