Sport Mode makes me happy

EricSMG · Tue, Feb-24-2009, 04:50:34 PM

I hated (with a passion) the sport mode with stock gears.

But now with 4.10s, I just can't get enough of it. The car is just so powerful for such a light amount of throttle, even near redline.

agreed! every car I had prior to the m3 had wayyy better throttle response and didnt have to mash on the pedal as much...i much rather have sport button on all the time...makes it easier to drive for me...

I love sport mode too... I usually wait for the oil temp to come up then I turn it on.. If I turn it on sooner, it just makes me want to rev out to 8k right away.

I find the car too jumpy with the sport mode on and I feel the drive train jumping - which I dont like - I like modulating my foot on how much power I want - not to mention, after I added the alu pedal, the extra width adds to pressing the gas pedal deeper than stock- which is a nice medium point between sport/off.

I used to hate sport mode. I have tried more and I find that if you use it for a while you get used to it and it is kind of nice.

Still I really don't like either mode and really wish there was something in the middle. I have read some chips make it better, it almost seems worth it to get a chip just for that.

shark software has a throttle remapping that puts it right in the middle...

I thought I was the only one that did that to limit themselves.

actually sport mode increase your overall driving turns you in to a professional driver use electrolysis to stimulate your blood flow through pedal foot contact and hand on wheels.. it also adds 30 hp like all the dealerships tell you.
