Driving Dynamics in Track Mode
Just a quick question .. I normally drive in sport mode in my Manual 7 Z51, are there any driving characteristics that are different in track mode? I am referring to throttle response, (I know that the suspension adjusts and steering tightens) But wasn't sure if the car wakes up a little engine wise in Track mode.

But in my own tests, I couldn't really tell any difference in throttle response between touring, sports, and the various track modes.

Since it requires active effort to change the print that is already there, i believe that there is a change as outlined. Besides, it's a software change and it probably can be updated to 2014/15 models if similarly equipped... I saw a review on youtube where the reviewer said the car behaved significantly different in track versus sport. I believe he was reviewing a 2016 model.

Speaking of track mode, since I just traded my 2005 c6 in on a 2015 C7 two months ago, when in track mode and I rev the engine up a bit and it hits, say 30 mph but at 4500 rpm, is it supposed to hang up there are 4500 rpm (or whatever rpm when I let off the gas) for 5 seconds despite me having let off of the gas completely? It makes me afraid I'm going to grenade my engine because I'm doing something wrong. Sometimes I switch it back to touring mode because it seems like the rpm's hang up there for too long.
