360/430 manual trans owners sports mode or not?

It also makes the traction control less invasive.....I only use sport mode on smooth tarmac ....

 

I usually leave it off, but have played with it a little bit. Honestly I can't really feel any diff with the car when it's on.
But, I also haven't pushed in on a track yet, so......

 

For me.... Spot Mode is ALWAYS ON!!!!!!!!

 

+1, i can't feel any difference as well. i very seldom turn it on

 

I use it in the hills with a big difference in handeling. If the road is straight, sport mode off is a little less bumpy, particularly if there are expansion joints in a concrete road. However, its easy to live with on all the time too.

 

I turn it off (or on? lets say i activate it) when i'm on an empty, large enough to wag the tail, or when i want to do some enthusiastic driving.
On track its always off.
I cant see how 360 owners do not see difference it makes traction wise. Even on 3rd, with sport on, when i gun it, the tail starts to slide if the asphalt is smooth.
I ticked "somethimes" because i feel it makes the car more bumby on rough roads. Maybe thats just a "feeling" because i do not actually think that it changes the suspention settings that much.
I look at it like a "turbo boost" button, for when i need a little more adrenaline rush.

But i've never tried to drive with ASR off, with all traction control off, you probably cant medal to metal it, on city traffic at least. (I think you press and hold till the ASR flickers in the dash right?)

 

On the track and/or agressive driving I like the firmer suspension and the longer leash the traction control gives in sport mode. Otherwise, for 85% of the street driving, sport mode is too agressive and bumpy.

 

Sport mode makes the ride slightly firmer on the street so I keep it off. It is turned on for the track.

ASR is usually on except when I want to powerslide.

 

I leave it off around town. Sometimes I turn it on if I'm on a twisty road and/or the highway. As mentioned above, I also leave the ASR on unless I want to break the back end loose or need to accelerate real hard while turning.

Sport mode always on unless the roads are wet. With sport mode off, the traction control cuts in too quickly. ASR only switched off to drift the back end at track day hairpins or one or two corners on the road I know I can get away with it.

 

sports mode off for city driving for a smoother ride, sports mode on when doing spirited morning drives.

 

Okay. I was wondering why the rear kept falling into place. I have noticed when I turn SM on it has never stumbled when I floor it.
