Default Dynamic and Sport Mode questions

Tried out some WOT runs with both modes engaged. I noticed that my car would hang at redline in 1st gear for a bit, possibly waiting for my input on the paddle shifters. Is this normal programming, or should I be looking at something like the solenoids in my ZF 6hp

Going into sport mode changes the shift points and does hold in the lower gear longer - until red line, depending on throttle input.

Mine holds at redline for a second though, then shifts to 2nd. It only happens in 1st.

Just discovered the Dynamic+Sport mode engaged together.
I feel like I just released the beast within.. Put together this is by far the funnest most powerful luxury car Ive I’ve ever driven.

jaapvanthoff,

On my 575, if you leave it in S + Dynamic it will go into gear 8....you have to wait like 30s before it clicks in. At that point your license is at the DMV and sealed under "stupid"
