Differences in driving modes?
Yes I e looked and can't find what I consider a clear answer.
What are the differences between sport mode and track mode? What exactly changes? I normally drive in sport but am wondering if track would be more fun.
Thanks!!!

I see someone else posted the chart. If your roads aren't pristine (none in California are) you may find Track mode with magnetic ride to be so stiff as to be uncomfortable.

Thanks guys. The tip about bending wheels is much appreciated. The chart KIND OF answers some questions I have about what happens to the shifting when in TRACK mode. I don't feel too much difference in the shifts so that's why I ask. What is "trans shift mode (if avail) and what are the different modes in the limited slip? This is all new to me so excuse me ignorance.

Try this. This is I show my friends the difference and they can feel it.
You know those rounded bumps in the center of the road that go along with the white lines. put it in tour mode and drive on the bumps, you hear them and barely feel them. not put it in sport, you hear them and they feel like bumps. Then go into track mode, you hear them and it feels like you are running over boulders.

Put it in sport mode drive about 50 mph, Quick blip the throttle to 60% and the car will downshift to a lower gear as ready to go fast, rpm will increase to, oh maybe 3400? then try a quick blip at 80-100%, the car will downshift to the lowest gear without redline, and ready to scream, rpm will be in the 4800 range. Stab the throttle after that and see the shift light going crazy in the heads up display as you rocket down the open highway. when quick blip, car will hold that rpm for 4-6 seconds, if you do nothing it will go back to higher gear.
