Having had my M6 to drive for a few days, I am finding that with my driving style I am getting the smoothest gear changes in the fastest mode (No. 5 not the TC off mode). So I have simply set my M-mode to P500 SMG5 and Normal suspension and use that all the time - no matter what sort of driving I am doing.

My question is - Am I putting unecessary loads on the car for every day driving in this mode (ie. will clutch etc. wear quicker) or does it not really make a great deal of difference.

I guess if it is better to keep it in P400 and SMG1/2 for everyday I could adjust my driving to suit - but I like the mode I am using. Having been used to the simplicity of 911s for so long I thought it would be worth asking peoples opinions.
