"Competitive Driving Mode"
:( Does anyone know what changes occur to the C6 when the engine is placed into "competitive driving mode"? How does it differ from "Track system on" or "Track system off"?
thanks
thanks

Simply put Competitive Mode = TC off, AH remains on but with greater tolerances for sliding sideways (what you want on a road course or for more experienced drivers on a drag strip).

I think more happens with my 07 Z; are others experiencing this?
When I turn on Comp. Mode, I hear a "click" underneath the car and then the exhaust note drops an octave at idle ( 700 rpms ). Also, I hear a constant tick at the back of the car. The moment I turn off Comp mode the tick goes away and the exhaust note becomes civil.
Any info on what is happening would be greatly appreciated.

Seriously, there's gotta be some other explanation for your experience. I just have never heard of Comp D mode doing anything other than shifting gains on the stability control/traction control system. I have an '07 Z51 coupe- no similar noises as what you have... and I LIVE in Competitive Driving Mode.

I am also perplexed, I have had an 01 Z and an 02 Z which never exhibited this behavior. Bumped into 2 C6 owners today at Starbucks and they also could not believe the difference when Comp D mode was turned on.
But, more importantly, why should I put away the hash pipe - WTF

I hear yah, but everyone hears me also when I come to the condo in Comp D mode. I set off car alarms two nights ago when I pulled into my spot.

[QUOTE=opus1111;1558982877] '07Z means you have a Z06, right? QUOTE]
Hey, pipe down for now
Yes, it is an 07 Z06. I thought it was something like the butterfly valves, but I don't really known ( or understand). I have checked some other forums but nothing concrete. I think I need to record the sound tomorrow and post it.

With the Z the exhaust valve opens at a lower rpm in comp mode plus some others with timing and throttle.
