Default SPORT PLUS ALL THE TIME

I HAVE THE PDK WITH SPORT CHRONO AND I DRIVE THE CAR IN SPORT PLUS MODE ALL THE TIME, WELL, EXCEPT IN PARKING LOTS, AND PSE ON 100%. I AM ASSUMING THIS IS NOT BAD FOR THE CAR, ANYONE DRIVE THEIR SPYDER THIS WAY?

Sports Exhaust is on all the time except when leaving the house early mornings when the kids are still sleeping. I bet we all can't get enough of the sounds this car makes!

Do you ever get out of 3rd? Sport+ is great for the track, but why red-line every gear just driving around? Regular sport is plenty aggressive for the street IMO.

i have sport+ most of the time, but then i am manually shifting. Its awesome and i do not miss a 6-speed anymore. Shifting with the PDK has become 2nd nature to me, just like i would (in the past) move my arm to the shifter when i felt the need to shift.

My Milage however has reduced from 21mpg to 19mpg since i started shifting manually with S+.

Interestingly, i have not used sport+ on the track and played with only sport mode. But then, i am a track newbie. Next time for sure.

Sorry about the caps lock!

I, like Preetham, am shifting manually (no redline) in sport plus so I get to 4th...max, but gee is it fun and I do not miss manual at all. PSE 100%. 1st speeding ticket today in 10 years though

I was driving around in Sport mode all the time, but my mileage sucked, so at the moment I'm commuting in regular mode. Sport Plus I save for the canyons.

I don't have PSE....yet.
