What driving mode do you use?

Quick question for everyone,

What driving mode do you keep your zr2 most of the time? I like to keep mine in off road for most of my driving. I drive on old and rough tar roads to and from work. It makes a noticeable difference from normal mode when I compare on my 50 minute one way commutes. Thoughts?

Tow / haul works good for me.

What’s the reasons why you use tow / haul? I’ve never tried until now and I can feel the throttle response difference immediately.

Mainly for the throttle response as you mentioned. and to keep all 8 cylinder engaged.

For me, I like that T/H disables auto stop and like Scuba said, the truck has better responsiveness.

Now try it with the paddle shifters and roll through the gears and keep the rpms between 3500 and 6000. You'll be able to run 3rd gear up to 80 mph before it cuts power at 6k. L3-L5 is a lot of fun above 3000. If your getting more than 8 mpg, you ain't trying hard enough.

Sport mode is enjoyable and the gas milage is very reasonable (seem to get better than in normal) considering the motor but heard rumors that it shortens engine life. Anyone else heard anything on that?

I’m the old guy in normal mode who’s not in a hurry…
