What mode do you drive in?
When you're out in your car either driving to and from work or just out for a cruise what mode do you drive in? I find the very first thing I do virtually everytime is to put the car into Competition Driving Mode. I very seldom drive in any other mode.

Me too! Best mode there is!Seriously though, I just got the car last tuesday and haven't had it over 80 mph, usually do 1st-4th without being forced to by CAGS and I drove 55 mph the whole way down and home from Ocean City MD this past weekend. I'm no fun I guess :o

Well, I was going to say competition mode all the time but I may have made an assumption too soon. I thought once you changed the mode it stayed that way until you changed it again. Is that true or does it always change back to normal when you turn off/restart the car?
BTW, I was in Competition mode (or thought I was) so I felt like I was a bad azz. I rarely ever spin the tires and usually by surprise.
I too am getting too old

I read a post recently that indicated that there are three modes:
1) Normal
2) Press once and your are in some mode or another
3) Press and hold and the car wille be in competition mode
If so, what is the difference between 2 & 3? In competition mode doesn't AH stay engaged but TC is off meaning you can spin the tires?
