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
