what are your driving mode settings? - Page 2

Everything in touring mode except for exhaust which is in Track mode. Dunno why you'd want to drive a car that stiff 100% of the time.

How do I access the "Advanced" Menu to be able to add granularity and also change settings specifically for:
Steering,
Suspension and
Exhaust?

Eldi, for advanced suspension settings, it's a little more tricky. here's what you do:

First, put your car in Track mode.

Second, press your traction control button twice (a half a second between presses works every time)

A new list of suspension and traction modes will be available to you on your GUI display, between your tachometer and your speedometer. (not on your entertainment touchscreen)

While I do not know all the modes, (there are 5 I believe) here are the ones that I know are there for sure:

Wet
Sport 1
Sport 2 (turns off active handling)
Race (balls to the wall mode

)

Hope this helps!

Everyone's tolerance and fun perception is different. For me, track setting for suspension is great on the street. However, we do have pretty good roads here in S. Florida.

To me leaving almost everything on track allows me to have the performance on tap. Tour mode to me is like stopping mid-thigh on a beautiful woman

Why pass on the best setup the car has to offer?

Just for laughs I might try PTM "dry" and maybe "sport1" this week end.

Hehe why not

but for public roads the regular track mode already gives you plenty I think! With other cars such a dance of the rears would only be possible with esp off. I like that gm really made it a drivers car

PTM dry, sport1, sport2, and track modes.
Found the throttle response on the street, in traffic, horrendous.
Felt like the throttle was connected to a rubber band, car felt like it was in limp mode until you just about buried the pedal.
I might just be use to driving in tour or sport mode, but the PTM modes felt lazy and slow in normal traffic.
Going to experiment more next weekend as I don't daily the car.

I leave mine in sport mode but with track exhaust all the time. Sometimes I’ll switch to tour if the roads are rough and I don’t feel like fighting the wheel lol

JamesNoBrakes · 07-11-2018, 09:25 AM

Sport mode pretty much all the time, track exhaust pretty much all the time. With the sound-tube delete, the exhaust doesn't sound quite as loud (but you still hear it, no doubt). I like the sport suspension setting because the body doesn't dip and dive anywhere near as much as tour, even on some of the rougher roads. While tour is a bit softer, it seems like it blows through travel too fast.

See my post. Excessive chassis movement (dipping up and down, brake application, etc.) is one reason why. I like a firmer chassis that doesn't get upset by every bump.
