Here's a clip from the manual, page 9-35:
While in M(Manual Mode), the transmission will prevent shifting to a lower gear if the engine speed is too high. If the tap down − (Minus) button is held while the vehicle slows down, the M in the DIC will flash, and the downshift will be allowed when vehicle speed is low enough. Continuing to hold the tap down − (Minus) button will not cause the transmission to continue downshifting. Each downshift must be requested separately by releasing and reapplying the tap down − (Minus) button. 2012 Camaro Manual Some more from page 9-36: The driver may use this for sport driving or when climbing or descending hills, to stay in gear longer, or to downshift for more power or engine braking. The transmission will only allow you to shift into gears appropriate for the vehicle speed and engine revolutions per minute (rpm). The transmission will not automatically shift to the next higher gear if the engine rpm is too high. If shifting is prevented for any reason, the message SHIFT DENIED will appear in the DIC, indicating that the transmission has not shifted gears. While in the Tap Shift Mode, the transmission will not automatically downshift on hard acceleration. |

I only drive in S mode both at the track and around town.
Hate the tap shifters. Get ahold of Jannetty Racing for and tune and you'll real see what she's got.

I find that when i am on the track, i get better accleration when i am using the tapshift, the only thing bad about that is if you are late tapping gears, you car is going to stall. I really dont like using sport mode on the track in my opinion is because i dont think i am getting the much boost from when i am using the tapshift. I guess it is all preference.

For the dragstrip, use sport mode and turn off all the traction control systems. Also, if you get a tune, the tuner should be able to adjust Sport mode separately from regular Drive mode which will really improve your drag times.
I had to do the fuse pull twice and let it sit overnight without the fuses, but it did help.
