2023 C7 of the Year Finalist - Unmodified
Default Track/Competition mode only?

Took the vette out yesterday. I usually drive in Sport mode. I decided to try TRACK mode and then turned off the traction control and stabilitrak. When I turned them off the message on the dash read "Competion Mode". I've seen YouTube videos where you can toggle bw dry/wet/competition modes but mine wouldn't. Just competition mode. I have a Z51 M7...why not have the mode options?

What year Z51? Do you have Magnetic Ride Control (black wire coming out of top of shocks)?

You don't get Performance Traction Management without Magnetic Ride Control. If you have it, you get the Track Sub Modes by turning the dial to Track and then pushing the center button twice. Then you will see Wet in the DIC display and you turn the dial to move to Dry, Sport 1, Sport 2 or Race. Since you say you saw Competition Mode on the DIC that means you don't have PTM.

Bill nailed it. You need MSRC to get PTM.
