Sport Mode

[E.T.]

Yep, like others mentioned, sport mode mode only affects the way the tranny shifts. Although, it would be cool if it changed the suspension, steering, etc. I always drive in sport mode =)

For the v6s you put it into M-mode on the gear box and S appears on your screen indicating sport mode from what I know. This is in a automatic btw!

Yaaaa me too. Haha, it is totally worth the extra bit of gas. I love to hear my car rawr!

Press and hold the T/C button for 10 seconds and you will see the T/C & stabilitrak turn off. (lights up in dash). The V-6 does not indicate a "competition mode" but it does affect the gear changes (hydraulic pressure, and fuel/air delivery.

Had a 2011 LT2 before I traded for a 2012 45th Anniversary SS.

The V6 was a fun car.

Ok class, time to review.

V6 T/C button does two things: one press disables traction control, keep holding down until both the T/C and Stabilitrack lights are lit in the instrument cluster (manual for 2012 doesn't give a time but assume 7-10 seconds) and Stabilitrack is also disabled.

"Sport" mode is enabled simply by moving the automatic down into the 'M' position. You will see 'S' in the DIC. As long as you don't touch the paddles you will stay in sport mode. Sport mode only changes the shift points and shift firmness and is useful in drag racing because it holds on to 3rd gear through to the end.

If you do touch a paddle you will be in manual mode. You are then required to upshift yourself but the car will downshift automatically if you let it. You can get back to sport mode by either moving the shift lever up to drive and back down or just hold the plus (+) paddle for a couple seconds.

This.

Suspension does not change in S.

As far as I know, if you come close to redlining in an auto, no matter what mode you are in, it will shift for you.

Not if you have your tranny programmed.

You guys are as confusing as a Gyno prescribing Viagra.

Note that this doesn't work on most of the 2010's.
