the Sport mode! Sport mode will still work but I don't find the remapped throttle enjoyable. On another note I picked up car today just in time for the Ferrari French Quarter Classic tomorrow, life is good!!!!!! ;-)<ul><li><a href="http://www.noproblemraceway.com/roadcourse.htm">http://www.noproblemraceway.com/roadcourse.htm</a</li></ul>

I find Sport to be subtle, but shifting timing seems better for me with it.

Default I prefer the S throttle map...

My shift smoothness is better with the S mode engaged. I don't really notice the change in sound though. Maybe I should check my flaps, but putting it in S mode doesn't make near the difference that disabling the flap in my 3.2 TT did.

Default Me too..

I ALWAYS press the S button before I press the Start button (UK spec Avant).

I prefer the exhaust note in S mode, and don't have any issues with the throttle remapping - and I do a LOT of driving in slow moving traffic queues on my daily commute.

Default what are you guys talking about? The car is quieter with the flaps closed. Why is this marketing?

Perhaps you have no need for it, but I do... especailly with the loud *** Milltek.

I guess the sentiment is that quieter is considered silly ?
