Its amazing the difference when I put the car in sport mode. Much wider band within 2 and 3 gear. I enjoy this mode when merging onto a highway, it was good hearing that engine at 4krpm doing 60 in third (and it wanted more) I slapped it into its drive and it was on another dimension, easily hitting 85 without a jolt from that bulletproof tranny and a comfortable 3200rpm.

 

I hear you , I am doing the same , I would love to have a Launch control too lol

It affects fuel consumption but it's worth it

 

I agree talkradio. I don't use it often, but when I do it is great. Surprised me the first time--didn't think the old saloon would have that kind of get up and go.
