Default Predator: "normal" shift adaptation vs. "Performance"

I called DiabloSports and asked if the Performance SHift Adaptation was applicable on the Corvette. (the manual isn't really that specific... saying it is for vehicles with a "tow/haul mode").

The first person I talked to said no; this wasn't applicable for the C5.
I called again later and talked to another person and they said the C5 did use the "Performance Adaptation" screen. :confused:

Which one is it?

Also, if the C5 A4 does indeed have a Performance mode... at what conditions does the C5 ignore the "Normal settings" and switch to the "Performance Adaptation" values?

I believe James/RWTD has posted that this function is limited to trucks, not the C5.

that's fine, but I also got an email from the man at DiabloSport saying;

The performance shift adaptation is applicable on your vehicle, it is for all
automatics


still :confused:

It applies to my 99'GMC Sierra cause I have the Tow/Haul button.
As for the C5.........there ain't no button on our Y2K to toggle between both!
C5......... you either modify the shifting pattern or you don't.........
