Default Important DMS question!!!

Does anyone know if you can change the DMS while driving down the road? Haven't seen it in any videos being done and know it controls a a lot of ish on the car but I feel like All the components are computer controlled so I don't see why you wouldn't be able to

Just curious if I can be getting 40 Mpgs @70 mph on the highway then turn a **** and burn a stang without flinching.

Yes you can. Takes a fraction of a second (.12) to go into full V8 mode...read it some where.

Ur right about going to full V8 in eco mode but throttle progression, mag ride, exhaust note, stearing stiffness, elsd, ect... will all still be on Eco settings unless the driver mode is altered.

Well if you look at this How To YouTube:

It shows going from tour down to Weather mode, so I don't see why you could not go from Eco to Sport or Track while running.
