Is this a serious question or a statement? You have to be thorough with info to get correct responses, MY/Model/etc. Probably no one has responded 'cause they don't know what you mean with the question framed as is. If you are looking for explanation of how it works, read OM or look in the ASK TADGE section for more info. We do like to help but give us info.

Ok, How is a ZO6 2019 in Comp mode. Is there a big difference in power,a big difference in handling? etc,etc.
Unless they have changed the settings from 2015, I think you are talking about TRACK mode. In track mode, it depends on what setting you select. The owners manual does a good job of xplaining each mode.
TRACK - RACE mode will turn off most of the "nannies" and give you the best option for not cutting power in hard cornering. John Heinricy told me that RACE mode would be best for EXPERIENCED drivers on track slicks. Sport 1 or 2 for street tires or less experienced drivers. I think you have to use them and get a feel for what you want. Be careful with RACE setting.

Thanks,I was under the impression that Comp mode was another name for The Stability and Traction systems being turn off simultaneously from the center button of the mode selector switch?
I have a 2019 z06 m7 I haven't seen any comp modes...
As for the all off mode.. the car gets loose very easily and needs a lot of driver input to go straight even not even talking about coming out of a turn.... as stated above it's for really experienced drivers with slicks

Comp mode only exists on non MRC cars and the previous C5 and C6 generations. It doesn't exist on the Z06. With the Z06 you get Track Mode and 5 sub modes under it. They are Wet, Dry, Sport 1, Sport 2 and Race. In Wet and Dry you get full full AH, TC and Performance Traction Management, you also get dampened throttle reaction (this doesn't limit power just limits how fast it ramps up or down) with Wet Mode reactions being very aggressive. Wet mode is a good mode to use to find out how the car works as you can use it on dry pavement and get earlier reactions without pushing the car hard. It is especially helpful in playing with how Performance Traction Management works coming out of corners. In Sport 1 you get throttle dampening, Active Handling and NO TC but you still have PTM. In Sport 2 you get the same throttle dampening as Sport 1 and PTM but no AH, no TC. In RACE you get PTM, no throttle dampening, no AH and no TC. PTM is great when powering off a corner as it uses the electronic diff and throttle control to limit power delivered to the rear wheels to the available grip. You just put the pedal to the floor and the car does the work the driver normally does by using part throttle and gradually rolling in more thirottle as the front wheels straighten coming out of the turn. It takes some getting used to since it is counter intuitive to floor the throttle at the apex of the turn without expecting the car to do a loop or two.

this is the best explanation I have seen for the track mode sub settings.
which mode is best for going fast in a straight line—- track sport 1 or tour traction control off with active handling on?

Bill thanks for the Insightful information .can you tell me how to get to the sub modes in track mode I've played around with some of the bells and whistles and have not got to this I just learned how to add the digital guages to the track display:-).

I suspect you would want Tour with AH on and TC off. In track mode you will get PTM which in a straight line will sort of act like traction control. I have done autocross launches in Track Sport 1 and even without full throttle when I popped the clutch the wheels would stutter like the launch control videos that have been played. It made a great autocross launch.

Turn the center console selector until TR shows on the DIC, then push the center of the selector twice while watching the DIC. After you push twice you should see a set of Windows appear in the DIC with WET, DRY and as you turn the center console selector you will also see Sport 1, Sport 2 and RACE.
