I use the sport mode about 98% of the time. I have to suspect Mitch of a bit of trolling, however. How can anyone with now two 997s under his belt (and one totalled) not know what the SPORT button is for? With all his posts he clearly monitors Rennlist,--and the subject of the SPORT button has been covered ad nauseum...

Yes, I have owned a GT-3 with a sport button and know what it does in that model. However, I would push the sport button in the C2S and besides stiffening the suspension (which I could deactivate seperately -but you knew that), it didn't really do anything. Now to be fair, I don't have the sport exhaust. That is the only reason I asked. In the GT-3 it added a few extra lbs of torque in the mid-band but in the C2S, I suspect it has little effect. BTW. in the GT-3 (which only saw street duty for the ride home from the dealer and was properly broken in on the track) always had the sport button on.

Most likely the reason I use the sport button is for the PSE. Thus the difference in usage. I have found it a bit difficult to switch my foot more than the button. I am used to how the vehicle accelerates with the sport engaged, and then can't imagine why anyone would select the mode that is less aggressive. I use it more to select the PSE to be on or off than for the other things (very minor) that it does.

I think Mitch's question is very valid. Having driven both cars (CS2,GT3) extensively, the sport button has different effects in both very different cars. Without PSE Mitch, you should notice a crisper feel in throttle response when Sport is on.
