I stay in Tour most of the time. I have put it on Sport for a few occasions, but I plan on trying to break her in before getting too spirited.

I hear ya. Im a little dissapointed they dont have track mode (outside of PTM) like they do tour and sport. I like the stiffness of suspension and dampening, but would appreciate SC.

i usually drive around with everything off, but if i do leave it on its in 4 usually

lopoetve · 01-28-2013, 02:08 PM

Normal: Tour mode.
Wet/Cold: PTM 1

Spirited driving: PTM3.

Haven't been to the track yet, but I expect I'll try 4 for that.

Is there a notable difference between normal sport mode and say PTM 3?

hognutz · 01-28-2013, 02:23 PM

If I am just driving I leave it in tour. Still has tones of grip does not beat you up.

If I am trying do drag race all off. you have to remeber to lift though if you get out of shape.

if I am trying to drive hard through corners I usually roll 5.

there is no 1 best mode.

BonestockZL1 · 01-28-2013, 05:03 PM

First thing I do when I start the car is turn everything off. I love the feeling when the car hits boost and breaks the tires loose!

s/c ss · 01-28-2013, 07:12 PM

So far it seems that PTM 4 & the Touring mode are liked the most. If I remember correctly, the Touring mode is the default mode (what comes on when the car is started). I like this mode but thought that PTM 4 was best so far. But again, I haven't logged too many miles behind the wheel just yet.
I will have to keep in mind.... PTM #1 when raining.

In my experience, PTM 1 is awesome for cold/wet, as long as it ain't snow.

firecross91 · 01-28-2013, 08:35 PM

PTM 1 in rain, PTM 3 when dry. Hoping to use ptm 4 at the track this year and then ptm 5 next year.

DangerZL1 · 01-28-2013, 08:42 PM

So PTM 1 exerts tighter control than the default mode? If so, I'll try it in the cold. I wonder sometimes if the traction controls even works on this car.
