Default track mode with automatic

i have a 2016 C7 2lt. i could not bring up PTM Sport 1, Sport 2 in track mode. Chevrolet dealer told me that this option is only available on the ZO6 and Z51. i disagreed with him. is he correct?

Not exactly it isn't available if you have the standard shocks (No active shocks handling)

The PTM feature is linked to the mag-ride suspension. So you need a Z51 with mag ride... or a GS / Z06 / ZR1. If you have a base car with mag-ride then I believe you still need the Z51 option because (I assume) PTM can't work without the eLSD.
