Nugget is infamous around these parts
When I had my 997.1 I never turned sport on. I don't care for the twitchier throttle on the street and especially on the track. Since sport throttle doesn't make the car any faster I never saw the point -- it just made it harder to be delicate with the throttle.

PASM sport or normal depending on the roads I was on.

On the GT3 sport mode doesn't include the throttle remap and it actually adds performance, so I use it on track.

Soft suspension with sport on, 90% of the time. When stuck in traffic, normal, then HWY sport. I just had a Sprint Booster and K&N installed and boy does it feel better!
I'm not sure if the pedal settings 'learn' from the driver, I used to get first gear (tiptronic) in Sports mode while slowing down, but now, it doesnt engage to first gear, and it always starts up on 2nd. Perhaps, it depends on how hard I drive? or Sprint Booster made a difference ?

PDK is continuously adaptive in Normal and Sport Auto. It's brilliant really.
