Why do these even have sport mode? Maybe I'm the only one out there that thinks there's nothing "sporty" about a massive american made people hauler. Unnecessary gimmick

I’ve never even tried that dial out on mine and I’ve had my ‘21 since April.

Guessing it’s like most other GM vehicles where it defaults back to normal each time you go to start it. I’m not aware of a default setting to force it to that mode each time.

Most vehicles are filled with unnecessary gimmicks now anyway. I used sport mode when driving through some hilly, windy terrain last weekend -- nice to maintain the higher shift points. Like you said, any handling benefit is inconsequential on something this large & heavy anyway. But the more aggressive transmission behavior is a step toward tow/haul mode, without the downside of using tow/haul when running unloaded.

The transmission shifting is much better in sport mode and I like it.

i would not say it transforms the vehicle like it does in our ZR1 or Zl1 but it change it up.

My 2019 ZR1 will stay in the last mode, but not this GM product.

GM has set it up so your normal mode( tour) is default after each restart. Thats normal....

For me sport mode seems to give a stiffer steering when I’ve used it. Keeps my exhaust sounding very nice.
