But to be honest, I'm not sure how much faster it makes the car run
(0-60mph, 1/4 mile), but it definately makes the car feel faster.

You want to run it in M mode in the 1/4 mile. It cut the time by .4 vs just D

this is good to know i was wondering why mine shifted on its ownin m mode still. At a stop it says s then i take off and it shifted on me. But when i try it in paddle up from the s it was ok just didnt know thats what it was lol thought s meant from a stop lol. I was like whats the point in the paddles.

I just love that this thread popped back up from June 2009. Wow, we've come a long way.

I had just gotten my Camaro close to 4 years ago.

Well....I run sport mode with all nannies off. Everyone of those others slow me down. I have upgraded all my rear bushings and trailing arms and run DRs, so no wheel hop and no spin.

I think that's what you're asking[/QUOTE

I would also like to add, once you touch the tap shifters in M- Sport mode (it switches you over to manual mode). You must now shift the car yourself until you move the shifter back up to D (regular drive).

When I'm done using the paddle shifters, I move the shifter quickly up to D and then back to M (Sport mode). I pretty much use M (Sport mode) for most of my daily driving. I rarely use the paddle shifters. But sometimes the paddel shifters are fun to play with. I also like using the paddle shifters when I want to hold first gear when rolling slowly off the line.

And make sure you time the shifts properly when using the paddle shifters. There's a slight delay on the shifts so you can end up hitting the fuel cut off/redline if you're not paying close attention to your rpms.

You know you don't have to shift from M to D to get out of the paddle shift setting. Just hold the + shifter for a few seconds and it will revert back to M Auto
