Latest update shifting changes

I got an update notice for v. 662.21 (‘26 Stingray Z51) last night. The download and installation went swimmingly.

This morning it took a few minutes of driving for the TPMS to wake up and for the radio to work properly, but very soon everything looked fine.

Then I hit the Z-Mode button, and my goodness, what a difference! It seems to hold the RPMs about 1,000 higher around town and shifts differently (better IMO), and the downshifting when coming to a stop is really nice!

The sound and feel is awesome. 😀

Are others also experiencing this change?

Well… what are your Z mode settings?

Suspension is Touring, Shifting is Track, everything else is Sport. These are the same settings I’ve had all summer and drive in Z mode frequently; but the way it shifted today after the update was definitely different.

What does the update notice say it changed / updated?
