Had a 24 on order. Found a 22 2SS w 3K on the clock. Had to jump.

Question: if I turn the exhaust to race in the settings, will it still stay in tour or sport mode. ABS/TC still active?

yes, you can have it in the settings on the exhaust to always be in track no matter what mode you are in.
What part of pittsburgh are you in

South hills. Let me know if you have any car shows to go to.

i am in white oak
not sure how many shows are left this year
my buddy is out in washington and he just got a 23 sharkskin 1le in may

I’m still figuring out this first gear. It wants to stall if I don’t give it decent throttle. Tour mode. My other Camaros wanted babied out of first.

It was raining today when I got it so I was trying to be super easy.

Put it in Sport and try again, the throttle mapping is different in Sport, you get more power sooner on the pedal...

Bring that thing to Pitt Race!

Get yourself a throttle controller, transforms the car. I felt like a teen trying to learn a manual with this car, tip in seems to be a moving target, and hills were the worst. Sixteen bucks on Amazon for a "skip shift" dongle is a good investment too.

The CAGS doesn’t seem as bad as it did on the T56. Even when activated I feel it quick and can reroute to 2nd. The T56 didn’t let you at all. I did get a skip shift eliminator quickly thou on my 99.

Wait, wut? Did not know this since I’ve only got 800 miles on my 24. Thank you! Did not know code was messing with throttle control (not that I’ve ever killed my the 6.2 M6 pulling into the drive or at a stoplight, not me… never). Already put in the skip shift right after rock guards. Priorities! but I guess I know what’s next after I can wrap my head around what’s been going on and what the two throttle controllers listed will accomplish. Visited both websites and read a bit but whatever can get me to a more traditional cable like experience so I can slip this clutch (after motor broken in) like my 80’s pocket rockets.

So until then, anyone shed some light on if throttle response does truly vary with driving modes? Tired of turning down the stereo just to leave a stop predictably. Really not that bad though, just not enough vibrational feedback from my earlier rides is what I thought was occurring. Plan to auto-x with and without traction control in the future and see what I like more. I bet it’s occasional loss of traction!

Yes, this is well documented. The post above has it backwards, though: as you progress in modes from Tour>Sport>Track, the throttle becomes more linear and you get less throttle in initial part of the pedal travel, not more. In a manual car, at least, the difference between throttle response in Tour vs Track is night and day. Ironically, it's much easier to drive on the street in Track, and possibly easier to drive on track in Tour. but I don't like driving around the street in Track mode with the extra noise damping rates. I wish you could set the throttle maps independently in the Settings menu and just keep it there, like you can for steering effort.

You'll want to autocross with all nannies turned off (hold the TC button for at least 5 seconds until both yellow indicator lights turn on in the dash). I use Track Mode, a few have used Sport. The nannies are too intrusive for autocross use, although very good on track. Also, be advised that aftermarket throttle controllers are not legal for SCCA F Street class, where these cars run in stock form. Don't know if that matters to you or not.

To the OP, it's pretty hard to stall the car, even in Tour mode. The ECM really tries hard to save you from yourself. In fact, you can pretty easily get away on level ground without ever touching the throttle. It makes me wonder if you have another issue with your car. Might want to scan for DTCs to make sure.

Omg you are so right. My 96 SS had the skip shift eliminator on it. I remember leaving the dealership when I first got the car and was like who would drive their car like this??? So I bought the cags skip shift eliminator immediately lol.

Throttle Initial tip in during tour mode is so aggressive I'm always jerky going from 1 to 2. In track mode however, I can modulate the throttle perfectly from 1 to 2. My 'ideal' daily setup is track mode with suspension and steering permanently in comfort.
