Track, Sport, Touring, Eco, Weather.
I have no use for Sport, Eco, or weather. Sport is like no man's land, I don't see the use of it. You either want to driver proper or you have grandma in the car: track or touring. Eco is the V4 mode and I wouldn't do that to my V8. I live in Cali so weather mode does not apply. I drive cautiously in rain and I don't see myself ever relying on the nanies just to get along on a rainy day.
Then, there is manual adjustment of exhaust and steering. Those can be linked to the modes above or you can have them always in a particular setting.

Set the exhaust to always on track mode. Settings, driving settings, exhaust settings....track. It sounds so good on startup in track mode. It's comical that this car sounds like this stock.

Had mine on "sport" exhaust driving home today and drove in Tour most of the ride because A. I'm not familiar with the car yet, B. it was 43 deg and the tires felt like riding on ice, and c. I'm a big weenie and didn't want to kill the car on the way home... I will be switching to "track" exhaust next time I jump in though...

I guess I have to read a little more...I didn't think that u can be in tour or other and have the sport or track sound..I must have missed this..also I thought I read where the traction control is off in sport and track mode..am I reading wrong ? I know one thing I got on it getting on the thruway in 3rd and almost lost it..I sure as hell didn't feel any TC ior stabilizer. Control. Rude awakening Did not expect it that's for sure

And yes, it seems that even with TC enabled this car will snap if not careful. Just make sure you aren't hitting the TC off button in the middle of the dial my accident lol did that once already (my first day with it) but fortunately realized it before anything happened.
