So you have the option of choosing between these options on the Mustang. I haven't tried the easy one, and I feel no difference between normal and sport. Does this actually do anything?

And, are you just trying the modes sitting still or at low speed?
There are quite a few variables involved in how the modes work compared to how the car is being driven.

I've driven normal and sport quite a bit. I figured sport would be a little tougher/stiffer making turns, but I feel no difference.

In Advance Track Sport Mode (which gets turned on everytime I start the car...) it defaults to sport mode. Don't think I have tried the other ones, supposed to give the most feedback and be the most firm

Non performance package V6 cars don't have a very aggressive sport mode setting so it is not unusual that it doesn't feel much stiffer than standard mode.

I use sport most of the time but switch to Comfort or Normal when I'm just cruising around. I'm not usually just cruising around so I'm not in that mode much. LOL

if you can find a long turn, switch from sport to something else in the middle of the turn. You'll feel the difference.
Huge difference in the feel with the GT500.

I mostly used Sport (V6 manual), and fairly recently changed to mostly Normal after waffling between them for a while - after another thread on this lol. Sport was my natural first choice because that's how I drive. I do notice a difference, especially when stepping on the gas when apexing a curve. The Sport requires noticeably less steering input than Normal. In fact, you gotta be careful with this with this car (MCA, non-PP), makes it really easy to oversteer if you've been in Normal for a while. Much less "prob" going from Sport to Normal. I should have said that I do mostly (very small) city driving. [Geez...just can't type or get a thought out today...]
