sport mode?

[NotGnu]

Pressing the traction button once and the infotainment screen displays sport mode.
The owner's manual states that traction control is not disabled but less sensitive or the like.
Does sport mode do anything else?

I swear the steering tightens up a little, but I've heard others say this is placebo... or not "tightens up" but that little bit of wobble at the 0 point seems like there's less play... Also when I want to make it pop I put it in sport mode and I can make the exhaust pop more reliably, but your results may vary as I've got a sport cat + downpipe + exhaust.

I also have a cat back and other things up front. So, no noise dif. for me.

^^^I wish that Bryan R. (BRGT350) was still on here, as I want to ask him HOW he installed the (NOT Rally Armor, or RokBlox) rear mud flaps he used on his FiST in the 'winter mode', without using those companies' mounting hardware.

The way he mounted the fronts is easy to see in his old posts on here.

In Sport mode, engine mapping and throttle pedal response are sharpened, and EPAS settings adjusted to deliver more feedback and finer control for fast road driving
