A6 question

My 2011 CTS-V A6 had three modes, Drive, Sport and Manual. In Sport the shifts were crisper, shift point were held longer and rev matching on downshifts as you entered a corner or braked. I usually drove in Sport mode.

While scanning the C7 Owners Manual I saw that the C7 only has TWO modes Drive and Manual.

Is that true or do you enter Sport mode via the **** on the console?

Am liking your photo's of your LRG coupe. They are spectacular and I view them when I need to calm my anticipation as I wait for my LRG coupe to be built.

In reference to the chart above, could anyone tell me more about this "throttle progression", I assume that simply means that when it's in sport mode, the throttle will feel more responsive, and in weather mode it would feel the least responsive. Is this quite a noticeable difference? I know in the past, GM cars would always have a very aggressive throttle, in other words you could give 10% throttle pressure but the throttle body would actually open at about 50%, giving you the illusion of a lot more low end power. It's definitely nice to have control over that type of behavior, as most of the time I'd prefer the most aggressive setting, but I would not want it that way when driving in heavy rain.
