sport mode

[awwalker]

I know I am nursing my new z for a while but just wondering which sport mode will be best for zooming off from stand still, knocking the auto stick over into sport or pressing the sport button next to it?
cheers

If you floor it in Auto with sport button it tends to hold the revs longer & closer to redline before next change
Paddles or auto in manual mode should feel the quickest but in reality you would be talking miniscule difference for the majority of us amateurs 8)

DCT is Sport Mode and put her in Sport + .... you will be amazed at how quick you get off the line!

If you switch on sport AND knock the stick left you get max acceleration.

Throw it in Sport+, throw the stick the the left and use the paddles to shift. That way there's no room for a mistake leading to lesser performance or there's always launch control. If you don't have the 35i, it's not really launch control, but if you don't have the 35i, no dice.

what plant have you, 3.0 and down no launch control.

For me in my 3.0 I always run ,sorry ran, in sports and manual shift, but use kick down whenever you need to ensure proper gear selection and change but dont forget to shift up lol. in manual it will stay redline until you pull the paddles. Another way is to push sports and use kick down or just kick down as your only talking one or 2 gear changes.

In sports auto it keeps the revs up so you cant really run insports auto unless you fancy running in 5th all the time
