Default Base C8 drive modes?

I’ve got a base c8 on order with no z51 and no mag ride etc. what if any drive modes will be offered? I do have performance exhaust option so I understand one mode will make it more quite, but since I don’t have suspension options will the drive modes actually change anything else on a base model?

You will have all the same drive modes but some modes won't have all the features. The suspension won't change and you won't have Performance Traction Management. But the steering, powertrain, brake response, etc. will still change.

That’s good to know. A little off topic but does anyone know if the z51 (with electronic limited slip differential) vs. non z51 (Posi-traction I think) will do a better burnout?

There's the modes (across) and the item settings in each mode:


All of the above will apply to a non-Z51, non mag ride with performance exhaust except for the PTM and suspension.
