Thanks for responding, GoldenBear.
The problem I have with GM is this: Brochure of Jan 2012 from GM states "2013 Convertible will have all of the performance features as the coupe". I have an automatic and thus I can't access the CDM/Launch mode and when I put it on Sport mode it performs worse than Tour mode. (I'll take it in to a local dealer to even determine what is happening in Sports mode as the manual isn't clear to me on that point).
The manual that came with the car clearly stated the ZL1 was to at least have 4 PTM modes for all ZL1s and then they stuffed in a "supplement page" to explaining it would not.
Problem is I was under the direct assumption, because of the previous brochure, I would be getting PTM modes as promised. By the time I found out it didn't have them it was too late to return the car. Even the dealership was astounded it didn't have them and called the factory to get them and found out they were never installed in the first place.
