    There's another mode....while in Sport mode, hold traction control down for 5-10 seconds. (competition mode). Turns off stabilitrac and traction control, but you better know how to drive.

      Yes. It doesn't display competitive mode or track mode, but it will turn off all the power limiting or stabilizing features. I have the v6.
      I also own an 01 Vette and it does say competitive mode on the dash when you do the same thing.

    Paddle shifters are not as slow as you think. At all.. You were just letting it pass red ling before shifting. When it gets to redline it auto disengages and doesnt do anything until you shift to next gear. if shifting right at/before redline (7k rmp) you will get the perfect shifts. I have the same one and do it all the time. Faster paddle shifting when taking it to redline than just cruising with the paddle shifters too. Still, pretty fast considering. Next time your in one, shift right at the redline before 7k rmp. Youll notice a 100 percent difference instantly.

    @4:38 in the v6 engine there are hoses coming off the engine bay that are valved and go straight to the firewall to ‘augment’ the sound while in sport mode. For the I4 turbo when optioned with the Bose 9 speaker pkg, while in sport mode, the stereo enhances the engine sound. It can be disabled via the settings panel.

    Only time I use the paddles is to force a downshift when I want. If I'm in manual mode I prefer using the slap stick. It's far quicker in shift response over the paddles.

    Why wouldn't you explain the performance mode notification on the dash and the tightening of the steering during performance mode? And that it holds gears longer in sport mode.

  • @darrylpolite8722
    @darrylpolite8722 4 года назад +1

    Get a tune and you will begin to open up doors to even more power. Starting at 20+ on up on 93 octane for the v6 and 30+ on up using e85. If warranty is an issue, get the Trifecta Performance tune. It has a transparency mode that prevents the computer from showing a flash count and you can revert back to stock at any given time.
    With my mods and tune I am now at a complete cap out of 315 - 320 whp. If i want more I will have to go forced air.

    When I was new to the car, I once got it into Snow/Ice mode by accident. I thought it felt funny but I tried a zero to sixty. I thought I had broken the car. It seems to start in a higher gear in that mode. IIRC the time was about 7.5 sec. I don't plan to drive it in bad weather so hopefully the car will never see that mode again.

      no comparison. Camaro wins. Drove both, challenger feels more like a big boat and much slower. no competition. Get challenger if u just want the car for looks or at least get the r/t model. And might I add, r/t challenger still competes with this regular v6 camaro. Idk about higher speeds but i raced a couple challenger and charger r/t's and me and them were right there head to head. I wouldve thought they would fly pass me with it baing a freaking v8 hemi but nope. Hats off to to the v6 camaro
