No. If you pull the fuse the flaps will stay open 100% of the time. In track mode under certain rpms they will close.

No, in Track mode exhaust setting, it will still close those flaps based on conditions.
If you pull the fuse they are open all the time.
At WOT they're the same of course.

Basically in Track mode the flaps with close as the engine moves through rpm/load conditions that cause drone in the cabin. Other than that, the flaps stay open. So if you don't mind drone....pull the fuse. If you want to avoid drone, run in Track mode.

No it is not. The flaps close at certain speeds and RPM's even in Track Mode. You options are to pull the fuse, install a mild to wild(remote fuse pull), or tune the CCM with HPTuners to set Track Mode to always fully open.

Thanks again. You folks on the Forum are a storehouse of useful info. This is my first Vette (I ordered new). I was a Porsche driver for 41 years. Love my car. Bought to travel in. It's a Lime Rock Green coupe.

I generally always run in track mode, but I just installed the mild to wild switch, took about 10 mins, keeps the valves open all the time regardless of engine load or RPM.. works great
