Silly Question Time

[andig]

Apologies if the answer to my question is in the owners manual but here goes anyway:

Do the Tour and Sport buttons do anything in the Z/28 other than to toggle between the 5 PTM programs when you activate them? The reason I ask is that when I dont access the PTM menu but just press either the Tour or Sport button it doesn't seem to make any difference to the characteristics of the car.....then again I have been babying the car as it is only a few days old and with 500 miles on it.

thanks

It changes the electric assist steering. sport is a tighter more responsive feel and tour is more relaxed.

I don't think you'd notice any difference at all unless you were exploring the limits.

Here's the scoop, straight from the horses ... link. (about 1/2 down)
