I know this question maybe pointless in this age of cars since most cars help prevent you doing damage to the transmission

But basically can I switch from lets say D to M with a automatic transmission while the car is driving so I can pass a slow person and have my engine roar in sport mode.

I never felt the need to move a gear in an automatic car before in my current ride (07 Impala) the gears are D 3 2 1 and I havent used any but D.

What I am trying to inquire about is hard to type online but hopefully my question is able to be read, but I do not own a Camaro yet before you flame me for not knowing my car lol.
