Hi Dan!

Which bars are you referring to. I though the bars were for the SMG drive logic?

Thanks
Hasan

Ooops, you are right Hasan, I am making an assumption.

Its only because I drive my beast 99% of the time on MDM mode, all at maximum power and performance settings so when I see some unlit SMG drivelogic bars I am making an assumption that they are not driving their beast to its full capabilities of 500 horses and fast shifts SMG drive logic mode.

I thought those bars were the suspension setting?

You know, I've found I prefer P500 to P500S after having driven with P500S for a year. Reason: It seems like P500 has a more linear throttle curve than 500S, though that only really stands out when on the track.
