Default Any Comparison - Various FE4 (Mag Ride) options during Autocross for C7

I have ordered my C7 with Z51 and FE4 (Mag Ride).
We are avid autocrossers.
I am trying to find some comments/comparisons between the various FE4 choices/options....
preferably from an experienced autocrosser using the same car, in the same weather conditions...

I guess we could wait till we get the car, and do our own comparison,
but if we can get several different people's feeling, ..... forewarned is forearmed.

And I can't find anything like this using any search.
Various car magazines have compared the "ride", but nothing comparing the performance on an autocross course.

Thanks in advance

Hmmmmm, not too many responses.

OK... what EXACTLY do the various modes/options do to the car?
As ... how do they actually work?
What adjustments/monitoring/etc. do they actually perform in all modes?

And, can we turn them all off ?

Personally I would have NOT ordered the car with the Mag ride shocks. For auto-x I can guarantee you, you will want something better than those. They are great for a compromise but I would never be happy.

Most guys on any car never keep the factory shocks for a reason. I'll let others that have C7's say the rest.

Pages 9-36 to 9-46 in the owner's manual goes through all the variations. 9-43 starts the section on PTM.

I'm sure if you do a websearch (or a search on this forum) you can find a link to a PDF copy of the owner's manual.
