I keep it on sport mode. To be honest I can't tell a difference in the throttle mapping between any of the modes. I had MRC on my 2016 Camaro SS and could barely tell the difference between Tour and Track so I didn't bother to get it this time.

When the fuse is pulled the NPP valves remain open all the time. Track mode programs the NPP valves to open earlier and more often based on throttle position but they still close up during low throttle application.

Sport probably 90% of the time. Weather during Florida frog stranglers, Tour on a terrible road, Eco when hunting a gas station and Track when the road is fun and empty.

What mode do most C7 owners use for day to day driving? I leave mine in "T" or Touring Mode. I have used the Sport mode a few times and did not notice any difference in driving my Stingray. I do not intend to use the Track mode as I do not plan to drive my car on a track.
