Thanks guys.

Love the new handling .. .smooth, firm but quick-to-be-done-with over bumps, flat in corners, didn't really notice any squat on launches and didn't really get to test for brake dive, but it seems to be reduced from the driving I did do.

Happy with the set-up, I am!

Um, no. Sport Mode turns things down, not OFF.

Try doing a 2nd-gear dump going 20-25 with the Sport Mode engaged ... it won't let you, but if everything is OFF ... different story

Ah ok... I stand corrected then.

I don't think I have the kohones to shut anything fully off. Sport mode is the most marbles I will get lol

Lol ... it's fairly simple: I drive with everything off most of the time, but I remember that fact when I attempt a new speed around a highway on-ramp or off-ramp ... I especially like the off/on-ramps from one highway to another ...

Yeah, I've gotten robbed like that more times than I can count, but at that point I usually slow down a bunch and try to save at least half the ramp, although I still catch up to them quicker than I thought I would, lol

I hate that. Cruising along and then have to lay on the breaks because they are to scared to lay on the throttle.

No, Advancetrac has a Sport Mode that can be activated by having the foot on the brake pedal (even while moving) and quickly tapping the traction control/Advancetrac button twice.

It also puts the steering in Sport mode, but mostly it intervenes later when you're swinging the tail out or whatever.

That's when I yell the gas pedals on the right! Just put it in neutral and I'll push you up to speed!
