What setting do you have your "power" button on?

Grapesape · 10-22-2013, 02:12 PM

I used to drive with it on sport because with it on normal it just seemed sluggish, not very responsive. Now, I updated to the GTS DCT from Alex and 240E from Roman at ESS, and the normal setting feels much better. Maybe even better than sport. I'm not sure if it's due to the GTS or 240E. Anyone else experience this?

When I had my integration updated to 240E, I did not feel like the throttle was any more or less sensitive than before.

That being said, I used to drive in "Sport" all the time but have since started using "Normal". It does feel a tad sluggish off the line but my gas mileage has improved a bit, truth be told.

Sports Plus on the street.
Normal with DCT off @ track.

happos2 · 10-22-2013, 02:46 PM

Warp drive setting

Benvo loaded these setting for me.

I used to keep it at Sport Plus mode before the GTS software, now I keep the "Power" setting to normal and disengaged with my M button. Clutch engagement is too quick (throttle too sensitive) with it at Sport or Sport Plus for me.

gatorfast · 10-22-2013, 06:23 PM

Normal always. Sport and sport + are too difficult for smooth clutch engagement.

I think also important to say whether you have 6mt or DCT as I would bet more DCT owners use the sport settings than 6mt owners.

Since 240E my shifting and throttle response noticeably improved.

With sport plus my mileage improved for 19.2 to 20.8. I am currently at 20.1. Strange isn't it?

Perhaps I get to an efficient cruising speed quicker and acceleration at hi ways speeds is done in shorter bursts if that makes sense.

Edit:
Mine is 6MT

Ive tried using it before but it feels so unnatural. Normal everywhere everytime. I tried power button at the track and my heel toes were shooting way too high.

Normal, it's perfectly linear.

But the power button gives you +100 virtual torque!

yes if your 17 and play video games more than track your car then maybe you dont care if you can control the throttle precisely or crash often. maybe they should set it up so an 1/8th of an inch depression gives full throttle then you could really go fast!
