"Mode" confirmation question

[BAD ZL1]

Hey, at least you are attempting to use your PTM modes as designed, Im still trying to just understand them. Thanks for your posts, it helps me a lot.

Only stability and traction control are on when no PTM mode is selected. This means you have full use of all 580 ponies. Once a PTM mode is chosen your power is cut depending on vehicle situation (ie full throttle on corner exit or from a rolling start). Don't believe me then read the owners manual or try it for yourself. Mode 4 uses more engine power than mode 2

Does driving in "Tour" and not selecting any of the modes mean you are using all of the cars Nanny's?

Is Wet Mode using less Nanny's than using none of the 5 PTM modes?

Difficult question to answer...because, technically...PTM, in any mode, is the ultimate Nanny. It uses the most sensors and other inputs to modulate Stabilitrac and other adjustments both on-the-fly, and predictively. But it can trick you into thinking it's less of a Nanny in modes 3, 4, & 5 because it allows so much freedom.

I agree with much of what's already been said, though. Glad to see so many people who understand what their cars have to offer!
