How do you use "Sport Mode"?

Only when on track or when racing?
Do you use it in bumper-to-bumper traffic?
Do you cruise on the freeway in sport mode?
Do you use it on surface streets?
Are you the type that likes to floor it for the roaring engine, slow down and do it again?

etc

Shoot, I don't know man. With my setup and recent experimentation with eco, I have been driving aggressive. It's kind of like a false eco pro.

As I said above...because I have the tranny to the left in sport mode it keeps the RPM's up and I'm running with pretty good boost so it hits pretty good. Posted this recently...guess not a lot of the guys have been trying it for lack of response..

Yeah, I know..no heckling on that...I love MT..it just makes sense nowadays when you are in traffic all the time, have to check the phone, whip snacks out for the kid, adjust shit in the car, etc. I do miss the real manual.

i never allow anyone to drive faster than me.

there's no reason why a minivan is faster than you.
there's no reason why an SUV is faster than you.
there's no reason why a woman is driving faster than you.
there's no reason why an old lady is faster than you.
there's no reason why a clunker is faster than you.

Why? Are you trying to prove something? Compensate for something?

Oh? Even putting the blatant sexism aside for a moment, that's untrue. Maybe the woman in the SUV or minivan has an emergency situation such as one of her children suddenly had a seizure. Or maybe she's just running late for yoga class. Why does it matter to you?

How about this reason: I choose my pace based on my comfort level with the current traffic situation, my destination, my schedule, and my mood, not based on the other drivers I come across on the road and what they are doing.
