Anybody NOT like Sport Mode?
Maybe my car is too new (900 mi) but I'm not gushing about Sport mode like everyone else..
In Touring mode, my car feels very "free-wheeling" loose, and the gas pedal feels very responsive with little pressure..
In Sport mode, its definitely a tighter feeling, but it feels like it doesn't roll as freely, and definitely takes more effort/pressure on the gas pedal to get going... Its a very distinct difference...
Is this how its supposed to be? I thought Sport mode would be more of an enhanced throttle and spirited ride, whereas of now, it seems kind of sluggish compared to Touring..
Interested in reading your thoughts & comments..
Thx..

Ive had mine in Sport mode for the longest time (ok, for 2 months since I had the car.) Today, out of the blue, I tinkered in the settings to make the Steering feel like Touring mode. The car was still in Sport mode though.
The steering got light/loose and after several minutes I just didn't like the feeling. I put the Steering mode back on Auto-Selector in the Settings screen. I guess I just have to get used to driving in Sports mode.

I find that the Sport Mode is tighter and somewhat more responsive, but it might be due to the overall feel of the ride, and not necessarily the result of the throttle response.

I set my steering to track mode for all settings, then go between Track and touring based on road conditions. Once in a while I do track for the sound. Touring felt way too loose for me.
I will have to pay attention to how the pedal feels in the different modes. I didn't notice much difference yet.
We have a 3 line highway up here (684), that is newly paved. I am addicted to cruising in in 4th gear, sometimes 3rd (M7) around 60MPH, then STOMPING ON IT !!!!!

Steering in Tour is definitely too loose IMO.
I have Steering set to Sport and switch between Tour and Sport mode depending on road conditions.
I don't think Throttle response is lacking in Tour mode but, I find a Noticeable increase in Throttle response in Sport mode...

I really don't detect a significant difference in throttle response between Tour, Sport, and Track modes. It's just a matter of minute differences in how much your foot has to move. You have the same amount of throttle in all 3 modes depending upon how much your foot dials in.

I keep mine in Sport mode, but should, likely, just dial in Track..... the C7's steering in Sport compared to my 28-year-old Ferrari is just plain sloppy.

Tour is too loose, Track is too rough. Sport? Now that's just right.

Sport mode with track exhaust
900 miles , don't care for others. Now if I can only get a little tire chirp if I floor it , would be nice. Haven't tried track I might give it a shot.

I keep Steering in Sport at all times..
Its the gas pedal feel, in Sport mode thats most noticeable...
Car certainly feels more nimble/quick in Touring..
Oh well...
