Click Bait --- don't click

I suppose many of us will develop the habit of clicking the Z button right after starting the car. On my MN7 C7, I automatically pull a paddle right after start (turn on auto rev-match)

I have the exact same concept on my BMW M4 only they have 2 "M" buttons.
You do get in the habit of pushing it as soon as you turn the car on...it just becomes a normal part of the procedure.

I suppose if I had a C8 in my garage, then I would have a tendency to click the Z button. Would be a nice decision to have to make.

Drive to work... probably leave it in default touring mode. Drive home from work with the top out, Z mode for sure.

I'll set my Z Mode so that it has the "Track" powertrain settings - disables AFM. Steering and suspension will probably be Sport. Exhaust will be "Track". Yes, I'll hit the Z Mode at start-up.
