Ditto.

I tried this experiment on the way home yesterday. Noticed a big difference between sport and non-sport.

Find a long flat straightaway. Turn SPORT off. In 2nd gear get the RPM to 3k (around 30mph) then floor it for a couple of seconds. Turn SPORT on and try the same experiment. Huge difference, in my case anyway.
