Does anyone drive their V6 in Sport mode only?
I always drive my Camaro in sport mode. Can this cause any issues with my car? I don't ever recall putting the car in drive since I've owned it.

I drive mine in sport 24/7! Well I mean, besides when I have someone in the car then I have it in drive, I haven't seen any issues yet!

Not that I know of. I typically only engage sports mode when I'm on the freeway since I can't have any fun near school. Did it more often (as well as the manual) in Cali but it's mad fun when you have a bit of a trip ahead of you and some road to use it on.

I do all the time. Don't know about you but when I put it back into drive it feels strange. Since finding sport mode I don't even consider drive an option anymore😝

I drive in sport mode 100% of the time. You should have no issues doing so. I use the paddle shift 100% of the time also.

If I'm not in manual mode I'm in sports mode. I don't see how it could cause an issue.

I drive my 2SS in SS mode all the time (SS - Sports Mode). Only drove in Drive a couple times, but I like the SS Mode.
Off course, a lot more fun cornering if you turn off everything and go into Competitive Mode

i've had better mileage driving sport mode but with paddle shifts. you can ease the car up with the paddles while keeping RPM under 2k. been able to keep my overall MPG to about 23, with average MPH between 30-40mph
