Quick question on suspension modes
my Car is a C7 Stingray with the better exhaust but without the magnetic ride. My question is, is there any difference between Sport and Touring mode with this car outside of the steering and exhaust loudness? I.e., if I have steering set to always be Track and Exhaust set to always be Track, is there any difference at all between Sport and Touring modes then? I can’t feel the suspension difference myself, and wondered if maybe you needed Magnetic ride to get that.

Yes you need the magnetic ride to make suspension differences. The sport/track etc. on a non-mag suspension only changes the steering/and NPP if equipped and also some of the dynamics with performance shift and stability control intrusion when performance driving.

No other members jumping in ?? Oh well.
What kind (base,Z51) and year do you have? Mines a 2015 A8 base. If yours is a base, a really easy and good mod is to install the Z51 front and rear sway bars. The base actually doesn't come with a rear bar (i couldn't believe that), at least my year didn't. It's only a couple hundred bucks and does actually make a seat of the pants improvement in the handling. My best mod so far has been the Borla X-pipe. When normal driving with the flaps in track mode (I pulled the fuse) it's only a slight bit louder; at WOT it's BIG difference and sounds really sweet.
