Hi Kes7u-I have a 7MT with SC this is what i have noticed
Regular mode-a little dull for my liking
Sport-Throttle response is noticeably improved-I drive in this mode 90 % of time
Sport Plus-similar to sport but the suspension tightens up. Again noticeable from sport.
It is next to impossible not to notice the difference. I also have PSE which changes in character depending on normal mode and sport. With sport on you can hear a noticeable increase in engine sound in the cabin as the symposer opens up.

Thanks for this. This makes a lot of sense and sounds very accurate. I think the only thing is that PASM always is present, but turns to a sportier setting when switched 'on'. My guess is, similar to the 997, that PASM turned 'off' while on Sport Plus mode is still a more aggressive setting than when not in the Sport Plus mode.
Thanks for your information!

Along with TOPorschefan, I like Sport mode much more. The car just seems to come alive and wants to jump like a puppy wanting to chase a ball.

The main difference in noise comes from the car not upshifting sooner as you go into Sport or Sport+. So you get more of the revs. If you sit still in normal mode and hit Sport or Sport+ you shouldn't hear much change, if any. Please correct me if I am wrong. As soon you give it gas you will hear the volume. In PDK the car tends to not want to go past 2k RPM before changing gears in standard mode.

I just picked up 2013 C4S w/PDK on Monday. Coming out of 6 speed manual 2010 GT3, PDK is a very foreign feel. So in Sport Plus mode, it blips during downshift automatically, but when i click shifter to manual, it no longer automatically blips on downshift unless i manually downshift using a lever.
When you drive in Sport or Sport Plus mode, do you guys usually click shifter to manual, or just leave it in auto position?

Sound symposer opens up (louder inside car)
More aggressive throttle remap (throttle response is more sensitive/aggressive)
Auto start/stop is disabled
Engine oil is cooled down to ~200*F (instead of hovering around 230*F in non-sport mode)
