After driving for hours in Sport mode, I then switched back to Touring for fun. I couldn't believe how "loose" the steering felt! Thank goodness it can be adjusted in seconds using the screen!

I use Tour for Interstate driving and Sport around town. I did use the Track mode for awhile until the tech people at Spring Mountain explained how it could damage the wheels. Prior to going I had heard that but thought it was BS which it is not. As SM we used Sport 1 on the hidden track menu but they didn't mention wheel damage in that setting. Considering how we hammered the cars over the curbing, all went well so not sure on that. VERY happy I have to Magnetic Ride as it is truly impressive on the change of ride and steering. I would have been disappointed had I not gotten that option.

My tip would be: Take the Spring Mountain Corvette Owners School and learn about your car! It's well worth it and you'll have a blast! Plus you'll learn all about your car from modes to brakes, etc. GM pays more than 1/2 the cost and it's well worth it!
1). If its raining use 'wet' mode.
Reason, full nanny and traction control assist is active. Making it
more difficult to loose control. They have a drill that will convince
you.
2). Never use 'track' mode on the street.
Reason, suspension is stiff and as a result the tires and wheels will
absorb more when you hit a pot hole or similar road feature and
could cause damage to either very easily.

H.V. checking in,
I don't have a sport option on my SAAB 90S. The good thing is Ma' finally kicked the bucket at 101 and it's looking like I am not even going to have to worry about my pending lawsuit. The old bat was sitting on a goldmine and never told a single soul. I thought I would die poor. I am finally going to be getting my Corvette and I don't even have to bother to continue researching stingrays and GS's or even the ZO6 (which I never even bothered to look at because I never thought I would have the funds.). With the amount of flexibility (dollar wise) I have for my warship-- I will be going to the local dealer down here in Broward County on Friday.. and i'll be securing a brand new 2018 ZR1 ZORA with a full down payment. I tried to make a new thread last week on here to inform everybody but I had issues logging in and navigating the control panel.
Although this topic asks which mode we like to drive in-- I think only the stingrays, GS's, and ZO6 cars have "options" in regards to ride perofrmance. So my answer to the original posters question would be NONE because the ZR1 is a track oriented monster that features forced induction and a (possible) 3.9 liter supercharger. The "blower" on this thing is larger then my current cars entire engine. I feel like it is safe to say the ZR1 ZORA is always on "sport" mode ahhaha.

I really hope you romp on your Corvette once in a while (otherwise why buy Vette to keep it in E and V4 mode!!)
Also, how come not just use Weather (non-PTM) mode since we were told that Track mode is harsh and can cause bent rims on regular roadways?
