Shock Settings....

Quick question... Do the 3 shock settings COMFORT/NORMAL/SPORT have any affect on acceleration response and performance? Or does it just strictly adjust the shock setting? I noticed that when I hit the big sport button on the left side it automatically goes to SPORT mode in the shock settings and lowers the car to the "LOW" postion.... I usually drive the car with SPORT mode on and Shock setting to normal (to balance things out) since the SPORT SHOCK mode is really harsh since I lowered the car...

Just shock settings... i usually have mine on Sport mode and comfort settings/low level..LOL
At first,I thought i cannot change the pasm settings to comfort after pressing the SPORT button.
I agree the sport shock settings is very harsh, but really great on twisties..

Anyone know if setting the "traction off" helps performance?

I was told that Sport is very similar to PASM off and that it acts the same way, i.e it comes back if you attempt to leave the envelope.

This morning on the way to work I turned off traction and turned on Sport mode. WOW its like it woke up... I mean it was fast before, but now with those settings it feels alot more torqu'er....
