Default Competitive Driving Mode

Hi Corvette forum...

Does anyone know if Competitive Driving mode is only available if you order MagRide? Page 218 of the owner manual is not clear - just says 'if equipped'. It also says if equipped with TPM then CDM is ONLY available in Sport mode. So no clue as you can't order TPM as one isolated item. This is a little confusing. I have my car on order and should be here soon - meaning probably before 2030 or 2040 if chip shortage is resolved! . Thanks again for any feedback.

My 2020 2LT does not have MagRide and has Competitive Driving Mode [CDM]. In Sport Mode you tap the Traction Control Off switch twice and it goes into CDM. To get out of CDM you tap the TCO switch once.

Nope - just 2LT, red caliper covers and front lift options.

Without the z51 e-diff, have you launch-control clocked a sub 3second 0-60 with the car timer?

Haven't used the car timer. It goes plenty fast for me using my seat-of-the-pants timer.
