I'm curious as to how the Sport mode setting in the transmission interacts with Dynamic mode. I have a V8S roadster. I know Dynamic mode influences suspension settings, steering response, engine response, and transmission shift points. Sport mode seems to effect throttle response and shift points. When driven in Sport mode combined with Dynamic mode, are the effects on throttle response and shift points additive between the two settings?

As an aside, after owning six different modern Ferraris, two Maseratis, three Astons, a Lamborghini Diablo, Audi R8 V10, and four different 911s, I can honestly say that this F-Type is as viscerally satisfying on the road as any of them, and significantly better than most.

 

Sport mode only changes the shift logic (holds gears to higher rpm before shifting, stays in a lower gear whenever possible).

Dynamic mode changes throttle response, steering weight, suspension stiffness, and gives faster gear shifts.

These two modes also change how you can use the paddles.

In drive+manual: allows for manual shifts using paddles, but times out back to automatic after 60 seconds. Also will revert back to automatic if you are bouncing off the rev limiter without shifting.

In sport+manual: allows for manual shifts and does NOT revert back to automatic after 60 seconds. However, this mode will still revert back to automatic if you are bouncing off the rev limiter without shifting.

In sport+dynamic+manual: allows for manual shifts and does NOT revert back to automatic after 60 seconds, and will NOT revert back to automatic if you are bouncing off the rev limiter without shifting. This is a true manual mode with no override.

Love hearing your impressions of the F-Type. Especially considering the caliber of cars you've previously owned!!
