Default Latching driver modes

Wonder if this is a problem unique to me

My Mode, Tour, and Sport were all latching modes on my previous ‘20 Stingray.

Now on new ‘23 Z06, only My Mode and Tour latch. If car turned off in Sport Mode, it defaults back to Tour at next start up

Was this a change, or a glitch in my car??

Yes I believe it changed in 22. Defaults to tour unless left in my mode.

My 22 Stingray would only latch to My Mode. Anything else would revert back to Tour upon next start up. I just left it in My Mode most the time, and I set up Z mode for spirited driving so it is a quick 1-button selection. I will probably do the same with the Z06 once I get it.

It was a change sometime in '22. My '20, '21, and '22 SR (just sold the '22 after 18 months and 9,500 miles) would latch Sport, but for some reason that was changed.

The issue for me is mymode locks you into touring trans programming. I found I enjoyed sport the most for all-around driving and liked leaving the car there vs. Z or myMode. I set myMode to touring w/ loud exhaust and set Z mode to mimic track w/ sport steering (I found track steering tiring after 30 minutes on track).

Weird, my '22 stingray let me adjust the trans parameters iirc.. Or maybe that was Z mode? I can't remember now. I sold it in March, so it has been a few months now since I drove it.

That was Z mode... MyMode doesn't allow you to tweak trans.

My '23 Z allows me to set transmission parameters in MyMode, and I do. It will also "latch" only MyMode or default to Tour in all the other modes on startup.

Thanks. Great to know that the 2023 Z's allow for it!

Mine and the other I saw do not allow transmission parameters in MyMode. Either AZDave47 has a unicorn or misspoke.

MyMode compared to Z Mode. Please ignore all the scratches in the plastic covering that comes on the screen...kids wanted to peel that off and they are away so living with it for another day.

I was wrong, here is a picture, no allowance in MyMode for Engine/Shift, sorry for the fuzzy picture.
