[quote=ELEVENS]I don't think Sport will do anything for performance in wide open throttle (WOT). All it does is weighten the Servotronic steering and increases the gain on the drive-by-wire throttle control. This has the effect of opening the butterflies wider for a given go-pedal input, which gives the effect of better throttle response. But WOT should be WOT, regardless of "Normal or "Sport mode.[quote]

Agree - with standing starts. But midrange if the throttle response is faster

- surely it will accelerate faster ?
