My experience with FX3 in my 1993 ZR-1 is there is a noticeable difference between the three modes. In tour I notice much more oscillation after going over bumps and less harshness in the cars response to bumps and rough surfaces. Handling is still good in tour, but not as controlled as sport or performance modes. Performance mode is noticeably tighter vehicle control, less bounce and harsher response to rough road surface. In performance mode the handling feels much more controlled and responsive. Sport is in between. My experiences and attempt to quantify.
The best way I found to feel the difference is to drive over the speed humps (not the abrupt ones like in parking lots, the more gently ones that you might find in a neighborhood) in the different modes at the same speed, I find the difference noticeable. Then you will become more aware of the differences on different road surfaces and different driving levels (easy cruising to pushing on a fun winding road). Enjoy your car.
