Thank you. This is good information.
Back seat backs laid down or left up like a regular seat?
Any reason to think it would have been different had they been mounted on wheels, other than being a little heavier to maneuver?
Oh, and were these the handling package tires or the standard Dark...
Modern cars are much stiffer than older cars. Some of that stiffness came with a weight penalty. For the comparison with the Camaro, the outgoing 2024 Camaro ZL1 was two tons of fun.
The handling and NVH of modern cars means that they weigh more.
Older cars flexed, a lot.
Drag for straight. The shift is not even close in Sport, and Drag allows you to walk it off the line with a slightly softer pedal initially and ramps up from there (look at the chart above in post #42, lower right is Drag, compare, for example, 40% throttle with Sport, upper right, 40%...
Yes. There is a particularly curvy stretch of road with no cars on it almost ever with banked turns (in the correct direction) that I always flip to track mode before I am about to stand on the brakes to make the first turn.
LOL
But in all seriousness, try it out.
I cannot stand that feeling...
Just to be 100% clear here, I have more control over the throttle with Track than with Sport, but as for the maps and quotation above, I am simply passing on what was posted by ZXMustang, who knows a lot more about the ECU and tuning side of this than I do.
All I know is what I experience...
It has been almost a year.
Has anything new been learned since then about the pedal position and throttle result?
Is everything stated above turned out to be true?
What about Slippery Mode?
Are we sure MUD is Track?
Are we sure Sand is Drag?
You do not think what is it?
Sport and Track are the same in base models. Not in my Dark Horse, I mean, not even close. It is easy to tell the difference in the throttle mapping just by driving in each mode, switching from one to the other.
This is a downloaded file from a 2024 GT.
Mud and...
So if you compare the throttle at, say, 40% throttle, the Track Mode is opening the throttle maybe 25%, while Sport Mode is whacking that bad boy open to 50%
It does not take a lot of imagination to figure out which one gives you more control. In Track Mode you have to push that throttle down...
@ZXMustang posted it.
"I suppose I can add some actual facts here. The "track mode" pedal is far from linear. The only pedal demand pedal mode that's truly linear is the normal driving mode pedal. The rest are weighted differently and very non-linear. Top left is "normal", top right is...
Somebody posted a chart with the throttle input and result (throttle opening) in the various modes here on the web site.
I'll see if I can find it.
When you look at the chart, it is easy to see why track mode allows you to use the gas pedal to control the rear end much easier than Sport Mode...
