I'd be interested in this - sport mode does different things on different 911s.... from memory...
On my 997 it sharpens throttle response, allows more slip before kicking in PSM and turns on PSE
In the 997 Turbo sport mode gave you something like 20 seconds of overboost probably enough to get you close to 200 MPH, so without that you couldn't get the full power of the engine. Remap cheaper & can use the power all the time
In other cars sport plus does things like holds gears even longer into redline on PDK and maybe gives an even more aggressive throttle map. I seem to remember from the 997.2 onwards Sport Plus was only really worth it with PDK
I meant just chassis in sport plus mode, but yeah the car becomes a bit of an animal when I hit the sport plus button. Definitely holds you in gears longer in auto and even forces downshifts when braking. Throttle response even from normal to sport is night and day. In anything other than urban traffic I have it in sport mode with sport chassis and the exhaust on. Feels like a much tighter package then.
