How to Unlock The C8 Corvette's FULL Power! Hidden Performance Options

Awesome meeting y’all! Anytime you need any footage or anything, let me know!

So confusing

Anyone else feel like their c7 grandsport in track mode handles tighter and feels more nimble than the c8 z51 magride in track mode?
Is it just an illusion, i mean the g’s they both tolerate seem to be as advertised but the feel almost contrary

I found the best results on highway pulls, you can put it in either track or sport mode, then at you can leave the car in drive; but on a 55 or 60 roll; use the paddle shifter to put the car back in 3rd gear. You can just floor it, and at about 90 mph, the trans will automatically dump you into 4th gear at a higher rpm, which seems like its faster this way, but I never timed it. When it does use full power, the car will backfire in the split second it does the 3rd to 4th shift, at least in my experience.

good video n ur a good lecture about the C8 . GM should hire u as a spokesman

That video really was helpful

I can’t get that RACE mode all I get is competitive mode

worked for me. C8 Z51 no mag ride. long press disabled traction control and stability control - thx!

You can access directly on the screen to

Great video I enjoyed it as I did the Ron Fellows school which I highly recommend I am looking forward to your next one thanks Rob

Good stuff!

Does any of this turn off the rev limiter so you can rev above 4k while in park?

Does sport 1 and sport 2 produce the same amount of power?

To turn ESC off do I have to have TC off first then hold down the button?

What do I turn off to be able to burn tires

Do not attempt this unless you are at a track, closed course, or the parking lot of the local Dillard's.. :)

Great video

Please question:
In Track mode will the car go between V4 & V8 in automatic driving?
I mean without using pedal shifters or put it in manual.
I did read the comments, but need to be sure.

Should have showed putting these setting to the test by doing 0-60 and quarter mile times.

Is there a way to deactivate the engine from cycling back and forth between 8 and 4 cylinders

My C7 i sold i could open up the exhaust so its louder in Touring mode. Can you do the same on the C8?

Nothing you've pointed out increases the power. And turning off all the nannies on the street is ill advised.

I have a 2015 ZO6. How do know if I have Mag Ride.

I just got my C8 a couple of weeks ago. I've played around with Tour, Sport, and Track modes, but never messed with the TC button (always been a no-no with all of my cars). Now I'm wanting to mess around with it, since there seems to be much deeper levels than simply on/off. My question is though, it is said that you get "full engine power" with CPM, or in PTM on Race mode (not doing that one since it totally turns off ESC/TC). But are you saying that being simply in Sport or Track (without messing with the TC button and going into these additional modes), that I haven't experienced "full engine power"? Because that bothers me a bit to think I was under the impression of experiencing all of the engine's power. I want to have FULL POWER, but I also want at the least, some ESC/TC.

Will the systems allow me to program the "launch control setting in either Z mode or my mode, if so, how??

Hello! Great video. Question for you. What is the best mode for the drag strip if your car has access to all modes mentioned above? Thank you.

I think before you start turning anything off, learn the car and slowly start to experiment with these other settings and on a close course

Nah, those are mag ride options not "power" options

good info I will have my z mode on track with out any thing on, all power

good vide thx

So, are you saying that in Comp Driving mode, all you need to do is hold the brake, go to full throttle, when the RPM gets to 3500 release brake? Sorry, I'm still not clear as to whether launch control is selected from a menu, or it's just there in Comp Drive Mode?

Confused as hell lol
I want to just to go 0-60 as fast as hell.what mode is that and how many times do i press it.can i just put it to the z mode by pushing that one z mode button to just have it ready if i get a ferrari next to me.

does this car has fuel management or eco mode or v4 mode?

Thumbs down from me. Great video. But there is absolutely no instruction on how to engage or perform launch control. Despite the title and video description.

Palmdale

Great video! Liked/Subscribed!

I spent sometime in the car yesterday setting up both the track options and changed to Touring display that shows actual numbers instead of trying to re

ad the dial. This be part Sport or Track display not Touring. You are way too busy while racing to read a dial, numbers are much easier Thanks for the info

Really good. I haven't seen anyone else explain in detail how to access & use these options. I stopped video and made notes for future reference. I will probably want to use either Sport 1 or Sport 2 depending on the course and it's conditions for Autocross. Thanks very helpful !

Just so people know, pretty much any vehicle if you push traction control once removes it and long press it shuts of stability control. I own a Cadillac SRX , Toyota Tundra,Durango SRT and a Daytona Hellcat. It works the same on each one, so my guess is it works on anything. Now , my Tundra is lifted so be careful removing stability control because it helps with preventing rollover , but it will make your truck a lot faster on straight aways, on some trucks you long push the tow/haul button to achieve this. Be safe

Beautiful color combo!

The channel Speed Phenom did 2.8 sec 0-60 in Competitive Drive Mode. So far the fastest I have seen in the C8 without NOS or any kind of mod to the engine.

I just want drive fast sound loud an look cool what mode is that.

My ATSV PTM 3 or 3 is where I chill at. Love how side ways it allows you and is batshit crazy to goto 5 full race.

Excellent Video! 😎

Not going use any of these modes. WTH?

IDK about the C8 but my bmw TCS and ESC work exactly the same way, and if you shut them both off - thats it, there is no interference from the computer.

"Hidden Performance Options", but it is write in the manual... ?

This sounds like the similar set-up that was on the ZL1 Camaro. The C8 will be my first Corvette. I'm glad you've bought this out to everyone's attention. As I've seen on FB new owners doing donuts or burnout's and the brake keeps them from get the car to react in they way they think it should. Thanks for explaining these features!

Great info, so double press traction control to activate launch control and put car in track mode
