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.
Engine Oil
Caution
If you use the vehicle for racing or
other competitive driving, the
engine may use more oil than it
would with normal use. Low oil
levels can damage the engine.
For information on how to add oil,
seeEngine Oil 033.
Be sure to check the oil level
often during racing or other
competitive driving and keep the (Continued)

level at or near the upper mark
that shows the proper operating
range on the engine oil dipstick.
The LT1 and LT4 engines are
factory filled with 0W-40 dexos2 oil.
0W-40 dexos2 engine oil is
approved for both track and street
use with the LT1 and LT4 (ZL1 only,
not ZL1 1LE) engines. 15W-50 full
synthetic engine oil may also be
used for track use and is required
on the ZL1 1LE, but after track use
must be changed back to 0W-40
dexos2 for street use. See
Capacities and Specifications 048.
Fuel
Consider using 100 octane
unleaded gasoline if the air
temperature is above 30 °C (86 °F)
at a track event. Do not use any fuel
with conditions listed in Prohibited
Fuels 029.
Automatic Transmission Fluid
Transmission fluid should be
changed after every 15 hours of
track use. Any transmission level
set or change should be performed
at your dealer.
Tire Pressures
Tire pressure specifications are
listed in psi (kPa). Limit the vehicle
weight to a maximum of the driver
and one passenger, with no
additional cargo.

22 Driving and Operating
Caution
Using these wheel alignment
settings may cause excessive tire
wear. Only use these wheel
alignment settings for racing or
competitive driving. Excessive tire
wear is not covered under the
vehicle warranty.
Automatic
Transmission
The Driver Information Center (DIC)
displays the current gear selected in
the lower right corner. When Sport
Mode is active, an S is displayed.
If Manual Mode is active, an M
displays next to the current gear
selected.
P :This position locks the drive
wheels. It is the best position to use
when starting the engine because
the vehicle cannot move easily.
{Warning
It is dangerous to get out of the
vehicle if the shift lever is not fully
in P (Park) with the parking brake
firmly set. The vehicle can roll.
Do not leave the vehicle when the
engine is running. If you have left
the engine running, the vehicle
can move suddenly. You or others
could be injured. To be sure the
vehicle will not move, even when
you are on fairly level ground,
always set the parking brake and
move the shift lever to P (Park).
Make sure the shift lever is fully in
P (Park) before starting the engine.
The vehicle has an automatic
transmission shift lock control
system. The regular brake must be
fully applied first and then the shift
lever button must be pressed before
shifting from P (Park) when the
ignition is on. If you cannot shift out
of P (Park), ease pressure on the
shift lever, then push the shift lever
all the way into P (Park) as you

maintain brake application. Then
press the shift lever button and
move the shift lever into
another gear.
R :Use this gear to back up.
Caution
Shifting to R (Reverse) while the
vehicle is moving forward could
damage the transmission. The
repairs would not be covered by
the vehicle warranty. Shift to
R (Reverse) only after the vehicle
is stopped.
N : In this position, the engine does
not connect with the wheels. To
restart the engine when the vehicle
is already moving, use
N (Neutral) only.
{Warning
Shifting into a drive gear while the
engine is running at high speed is
dangerous. Unless your foot is
firmly on the brake pedal, the
vehicle could move very rapidly.
You could lose control and hit
people or objects. Do not shift
into a drive gear while the engine
is running at high speed.
Caution
Shifting out of P (Park) or
N (Neutral) with the engine
running at high speed may
damage the transmission. The
repairs would not be covered by
the vehicle warranty. Be sure the
engine is not running at high
speed when shifting the vehicle. D :
This position is for normal
driving. If more power is needed for
passing, press the accelerator
pedal down.
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

events where consistent zero to
60 and quarter mile times are
desirable.
Launch Control is only available
when the following criteria are met:
.Competitive Driving Mode is
selected or any of the
Performance Traction
Management modes are
selected. The traction off light
comes on in the instrument
cluster and the appropriate
Driver Information Center (DIC)
message displays.
. The vehicle is not moving.
. The steering wheel is pointing
straight.
Manual Transmissions
. The clutch is fully pressed and
the transmission is in
1 (First) gear.
. The accelerator pedal is rapidly
applied and held to wide open
throttle. Launch Control will initially limit
engine speed as you rapidly apply
the accelerator pedal to wide open
throttle. Allow the engine rpm to
stabilize. A smooth, quick release of
the clutch, while maintaining the
fully pressed accelerator pedal, will
manage wheel slip.
Automatic Transmissions
.
The brake pedal is firmly
pressed to the floor, equivalent
to a panic brake event.
. The accelerator pedal is rapidly
applied to wide open throttle.
If the vehicle rolls due to wide
open throttle, release the
throttle, press the brake pedal
more firmly, and re-apply the
accelerator to wide open throttle.
Launch Control will initially limit
engine speed as you rapidly apply
the accelerator pedal to wide open
throttle. Allow the engine rpm to
stabilize. A smooth, quick release of
the brake pedal, while maintaining
the fully pressed accelerator pedal,
will manage wheel slip. After the vehicle is launched, the
system continues in Competitive
Driving Mode or PTM.
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
200Y(147 lb ft) of breakaway
torque between the rear wheels.
It responds to full engagement
