Competitive Mode - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Does anyone know if the V6 has competitive mode or something similar? If it does I assume is it only on the manual? I guess the automatic has the paddle shifters but I was wondering if there is the same thing as the V8 where you disable stabillitrak?

Competitive mode is a V8 only function.

Thanks. Any chance you could explain the difference between stabilitrak and traction control and what turning one or both off would do?

*Milk 1027* · 04-22-2009, 12:02 AM

The thread explains it.

Traction control allows for a better launch and controls tire spin.

stabilitrack prevents the car from going out of control sideways. ( most helpful in rain, snow, or aggressive driving).

If in a V8. Competitive mode will allow for more lateral movement without stabilitrack being engaged.

So basically the SS cars have three settings ie, on/competitivemode/off, where the V6 cars have two, ie, on/off?

4 stabilitrak modes

used for safe driving during any type of driving experience, snow or hot surface.

Traction control off/stability control on: able to drive more agressively but still have some control over the car

Competitive mode (V8 only): Performance driving (ex;track driving)
more "forgiving" stabilitrak setting, allows for more lateral load on vehicle before stabilitrak kicks in.

Both traction control and stability control off: In other words crazy out of control demon driving

(Best part was watching Al try not to smile when saying this)

this should explain it better

Thanks Milk.

ss have 4, ls/lt have 3

the ones above.
i really wish the V6 had a competitive mode, i like how it downshifts to aid braking and turning.

Looks like someone hasn't been paying much attention to what the V6's can do!

Every day I get closer to choosing the V6.

At this point, the only thing that makes me want the SS, is because the V8 exhaust note is the best in the world.

And I'd miss hearing it idle at the stop light, then mashing the gas and listen to it roar.
