Keep performance shift active always?

I am driving my LT in sport mode, is there any way to keep performance shift active as I want?

Unfortunately, no, but you can blip the throttle quickly to activate it any time.

For us manual trans folks - see the picture above.

I have driven in performance mode on the ZL1 A10. Like mentioned all you got to do to get into that mode is to rap the throttle and the car is ready to play. Pretty cool!

Stays active as long as you're driving aggressively.
