Default What changes are made in the various modes?

Can anyone explain what changes are made to the car's various systems as I move from one driving mode to another? I have detected higher shift points (auto trans) in Track mode and stiffer steering. It would be nice if someone could run through each mode and explain what happens to suspension, fuel management, steering, auto trans shift points, etc.

I'm sure you read the manual, it gives the basics as to what is affected.

There is some information in the manual......but the intricate detail I have not seen tho it may be on here somewhere. I think you are looking for specifics.......... like shifting points changes from X RPM to X RPM or steering ratios changes by X to X. That info is not in the manual.

My question is how many of these changes are really noticeable?

Like those with good ears sound systems are all different. But most folks may not notice any differences.
