The car is not actually faster with Sport mode on, it just feels that way because of the more aggressive fuel application at a given accelerator pressure. Sport mode shortens the time needed (again at a given pressure from your right foot) to open the throttle butterflies and inject fuel into the cylinders... I think I read somewhere that it opens them at around 120 milliseconds (as opposed to around 250-300+ milliseconds with sport mode off).

Therefore, throttle reponse it better with Sport mode ON.
