Default PASM question

Since my first Porsche, a 2012 GTS, is new to me, I have a quick question on the PASM. Was wondering if the PASM settings in Sport and Sport Plus are the same? In other words is the suspension set even more stiff when Sport Plus mode is on? I haven't tracked the car yet so it's hard to discern a difference on the street. In fact, I turn it off most of the time regardless I drive in Sport or Sport Plus mode.

you only have 2 settings with stock PASM so they are the same.

The "Plus" mode is for sharper engine throttle response and keeps the engine rpm higher and PDK transmission in lower gears and more shifts will occur per lap if driven on track. It feels faster. In some situations its actually more ideal to have more throttle modulation though.

There are indeed 2 settings Normal and Sport, but those are not fixed/narrow shock valving settings. They have a range. When SC is in Normal it gets the left/soft tail of the Normal range, for example.
