This is purely out of curiosity as I recently was able to drive a friend's facelifted G70 3.3 and I noticed that they have a Sport+ mode that apparently some tuners actually remove (ie: LAP3). It felt very responsive, definitely sharper than my Stinger GT. Both cars are RWD and both cars are on stock ECU/TCU tune and I definitely felt a difference giving it some hard gas and doing a few pulls. Probably the biggest difference I noticed was when in Sport+ mode, the shifts seem to be quicker and even have some ignition cut that makes a sweet sound (same sound that a lot of the new BMW's w/ B58's make/etc) when shifting at high rpm/high load. I know that the stinger does this once you open up the exhaust a bit but the Sport+ mode in the G70 does it WAY more often even with just secondary cat deletes. Is this something that is programmable to the Stinger? I guess this is moreso directed at tuners like Terry @ BMS, Nathan @ SXTH, etc.

I know Sxth is working on it currently, as its all in the TCU tuning. I recently experienced it myself going from an 18 stinger to a 22 G70.

Pretty wild the difference right? Felt like the car was dialed up past what sport feels like. Noticed it turns off traction control as well.

Differences in the modes are only pedal mapping, power ratio front to back and ESP settings.

In germany we have had Sport+ since day one in the Stingers.
