Driving Information
Track Events and Competitive
Driving
{Danger
High-performance features are intended
for use only on closed tracks by
experienced and qualified drivers and
should not be used on public roads.
High-speed driving, aggressive cornering,
hard braking, and other high-performance
driving can be dangerous. Improper driver
inputs for the conditions may result in
loss of control of the vehicle, which could
injure or kill you or others. Always drive
safely.
This section covers specific track events and
competitive driving information for the
Camaro High Performance models only. For
additional track events and competitive
driving information, see the owner’s manual. Track events or competitive driving may
affect the vehicle warranty. See the
warranty manual before using the vehicle
for racing or other competitive driving.
The Engine Sound Management setting
should not be set to Stealth Mode during
track events and competitive driving. See
“Driver Mode Control”
in the owner’s
manual.
{Warning
Prior to each track event and again
before returning to public roads, tighten
the wheel nuts with a torque wrench to
the proper torque specification. Wheel
nuts that are improperly or incorrectly
tightened can cause the wheels to
become loose or come off, resulting in a
crash. See “Capacities and Specifications”
in the owner’s manual for wheel nut
torque specifications.

Caution
If the vehicle does not shift gears, the
transmission could be damaged. Have the
vehicle serviced right away.
Performance Shifting
While driving in Sport Mode and Track
Mode, if Tap Shift has not been activated,
the transmission determines when the
vehicle is being driven in a competitive
manner. The transmission may remain in a
gear longer than it would in the normal
driving mode based on throttle input and
vehicle lateral acceleration. If there is a rapid
reduction in throttle from a heavy throttle
position at high rpm, the transmission will
maintain the current gear up to near redline
rpm. While braking, the transmission will
automatically downshift to the next lower
gear keeping engine speed above
approximately 3000 rpm. If the vehicle is
then driven for a short time at a steady
speed, and without high cornering loads, the
transmission will upshift one gear at a time,
until 10 (Tenth) gear. After shifting to
10 (Tenth) gear, or coming to a complete
stop, the transmission will return to normal
Sport Mode shifting.
Ride Control Systems
Competitive Driving Mode
Competitive Driving Mode, Performance
Traction Management, and Launch Control
are systems designed to allow increased
performance while accelerating and/or
cornering. This is accomplished by regulating
and optimizing the engine, brakes, and
suspension performance. These modes are
for use at a closed course race track and are
not intended for use on public roads. They
will not compensate for driver inexperience
or lack of familiarity with the race track.
Drivers who prefer to allow the system to
have more control of the engine, brakes,
and suspension are advised to turn the
normal Traction Control System (TCS) and
StabiliTrak/Electronic Stability Control
(ESC) on.
Caution
Attempting to shift when the drive
wheels are spinning and do not have
traction may cause damage to the
transmission. Damage caused by misuse
of the vehicle is not covered by the
(Continued)
Caution (Continued)
vehicle warranty. Do not attempt to shift
when the drive wheels do not have
traction.
Competitive Driving Mode allows full engine
power while StabiliTrak/ESC helps maintain
directional control of the vehicle by selective
brake application. In this mode, TCS is off
and Launch Control is available. Adjust your
driving style to account for the available
engine power. See “Launch Control”later in
this section.
Do not use cruise control in performance
driving situations.
When StabiliTrak/ESC is in a performance
driving state by pressing
Ytwice for
Competitive Driving Mode or Performance
Traction Management Mode, or by pressing
and holding
Yfor five seconds to turn
StabiliTrak/ESC off, the cruise control
buttons on the left side of the steering
wheel will be inoperative.
To regain cruise control capability, press
Y
once to return to regular StabiliTrak/ESC
operation.

Localizing-U.S./Canada/Mexico-14584225) - 2021 - CRC - 9/30/20
24 Driving and Operating
Competitive Driving Mode, PTM, and Launch
Control are systems designed for a closed
course race track and not intended for use
on public roads. The systems are not
intended to compensate for lack of driver
experience or familiarity with the race track.
Custom Launch Control may be available
through the Settings menu, if equipped. See
“Custom Launch Control”in Track Events and
Competitive Driving in the owner’s manual.
Limited-Slip Differential
The Electronic Limited-Slip Differential (eLSD)
is a hydraulically actuated clutch system.
It can infinitely vary the clutch engagement
between 0 and 2000 Y(1475 lb ft) of
breakaway torque between the rear wheels.
It responds to full engagement within
0.150 seconds when necessary. Smaller
clutch adjustments happen even faster.
The eLSD:
.Uses the vehicle sensors and driver inputs
to determine the optimum amount of
clutch engagement for the conditions.
.Improves traction while cornering by
changing the engagement to achieve a
balance between directional control and
acceleration.
.Provides optimal engagement for
high-speed control and stability without
affecting precise steering and turn-in.
.Improves vehicle stability during spirited
driving and evasive maneuvers. Is fully
integrated with the Active Handling and
Performance Traction Management (PTM)
systems.
There are unique calibrations based on the
Traction Control System (TCS) setting. eLSD
modes change automatically when
Yis
pressed. No unique input from the driver is
required.
.Mode 1 is the standard mode when the
vehicle is started. It provides a touring
calibration with an emphasis on vehicle
stability. Mode 1 is also used in PTM
Wet mode.
.Mode 2 is engaged when both TCS and
StabiliTrak/Electronic Stability Control
(ESC) are turned off. This calibration
provides more nimble corner turn-in, and
is biased for better traction out of
corners.
.Mode 3 is engaged when PTM is engaged
in Dry, Sport 1 & 2, and Race modes. This
is a nimble calibration with similar
functionality as eLSD Mode 2, however, it
is integrated to work with PTM.
.Mode 4 is engaged when TCS is selected
off, but StabiliTrak/ESC remains on.
Vehicle stability is still the priority, while
allowing for optimized traction out of
corners.
The ZL1 1LE, ZL1 coupe, and SS 1LE are
calibrated uniquely and optimized for their
unique powertrain and chassis combinations.
Fuel
Top Tier Fuel
GM recommends the use of TOP TIER
Detergent Gasoline to keep the engine clean,
reduce engine deposits, and maintain
optimal vehicle performance. Look for the
TOP TIER Logo or see www.toptiergas.com
for a list of TOP TIER Detergent Gasoline
marketers and applicable countries.
