PTM
I know you guys are probably tired of seeing my questions but looking around I haven't been able to find specific info
I know the different modes change the exhaust, steering feedback, and suspension Does each PTM mode change the traction control and stability control settings at all? What is difference in track and sport? I guess what I am asking is if someone can list what each mode changes outside of the three obvious |

Yes. Each PTM mode changes Stability and Traction control thresholds.
At Sport 2, Stabilitrak is off. If you go into Sport or Track and hold the button down for 5 seconds, you disable all the nannies.

I like the nannies!!! Traction and Stability control are good things if not too intrusive on a track. I need to start reading the manual before I hit COTA this weekend!

Think of it as a 'fine adjustment' for track use.

All this is in the supplement owner's manual.
In Sport mode, if you push the TC button twice it will put the car in 'Competition Mode'. Basically, traction off and stability control backed off some to allow you to have more fun around town. In Track mode, pressing the TC button twice gets the car into PTM mode and displayed in the cluster are the 5 modes (Wet, Dry, Sport 1, Sport 2, Race). Each one has different levels of programming for traction and stability control. However, even in Race mode (option 5 of the PTM), the stability system is still on, it is just backed off a lot. In the PDR video I have of me going around the track in Race mode, you can see the little stability icon flash on the video overlay. So it's definitely still 'on' in Race mode.
