The data in W /ECO/ TOUR, is my preferred view on the dash screen and on the HUD I like seeing the speed limit and actual speed but if I am showing off the car I put it in track display both on dash and HUD. I like showing off the front and rear camera displays also.

I like the sport mode but seldom use it because there is no pocket gauge selection for water temp. So I normally keep it in tour with the 5 digital displays on the right.

I've used them all for months over the last 2 years. Right now it's in track display with info in the center.

On a closely related item, the gauges that come up in the center one at a time are dislplayed as if on a ball where the red indicator line is always in the center and the numbers/tic marks move behind it. Very counter intuitive and difficult to get any sort of quick read at a glance. Analog gauges should move the INDICATOR not the scale.

sport or track, I think touring is a bit boring.

DIC Sport with oil temp and pressure in pocket gauges.
HUD Track so I get the shift lights.
Exhaust in Track because it sounds great.
Driving mode Track because that is where I can extract the most performance/fun. Driving mode Tour if wife is in the car.

There's a physical display for water temp just below the fuel gauge. Why would you want to duplicate that with a pocket gauge?

Steering in sport all the time, Exhaust in track mode, gauge display sport with oil temp and trans temp, HUD in track mode. I occasionally switch display to track at night when I drive long distances as it is a darker display.

Not on a Z06. That is the manifold pressure gauge. Temp is only in the display and no pocket gauge available.

As for Track, the instructors at Spring Mountain have said not to drive in Track on the street because the suspension is so stiff that hitting a pothole can bend the wheels. Therefor, I don't drive in Track.
Don't believe everything you hear from Spring Mountain!

If you've got a Z51 with mag ride, then you've got PTM and the default PTM mode is 'wet' which is the softest shock setting.

If you don't have mag ride then Track mode has nothing to do with suspension setting.

That's the standard display for Eco, Tour, and Weather mode. If you're modes are linked to drive mode, then you'll only see whatever you're locked on. My car was locked to Sport Display when I bought it. I've always used the Track Display on my HUD. I just started using the Track Display on my screen since I found I can switch between the performance and info setting to see the info I want.

Been using the Track Mode dash display......looks the coolest I've seen. Makes you feel like your driving a real sports car.

I use the Tour Screen and set the center to Tire Pressures.
Then set the Screen to Performance to see Engine Temperature, Oil Pressure and Temperature, Trans Temperature, Battery etc.
Then with a couple clicks go back to Tire Pressure once in a while and back to Performance.
Set exhaust to Sport with Steering to Track.
Switch the Ride between Tour and Sport depending on road conditions

I have sort of settled on the Track Mode display. In the center I have the gauges oil pressure, oil temp, battery, and GS Force.

That's the same set up I'm currently using.
