How does switching a car into sport mode work?
In: 666
I can set sport mode in steering and suspension, and have it on by default. Things are firmer, steering is tighter and you can feel the road. There is also touring mode that I don’t use. My transmission can be switched to manual without sport mode on by moving the shifter stick to the left, I don’t have paddle shifters, just the stick. That little button that says sport mode is basically gas guzzler mode, and it will have higher RPMs before shifting and it shifts more often, the throttle is more sensitive, and much quicker acceleration. It is a leave your tummy in the back seat type of acceleration. My nephew made fun of his mom’s car because she has a gas saver mode, and I have gas guzzler mode.
With it off I still have very good acceleration to jump out in traffic, and I don’t need high RPM’s on my drive to work. Either way it sounds the same, it is very quiet because it has resonators.
Mechanically I have no idea what happens, but it does something and you notice it. I swear my car is more computer than engine. I have a Challenger.
