Interesting so the modes increase and decrease the power ? Don’t think mine do
Efficiency deactivates 2 cylinders unless called upon. Natural changes throttle mapping so less punchy, dynamic is the same as race just with nannies in place.

Natural and dynamic don't reduce power but since control is top of mind they will limit it if they think the driver needs help (like rear wheels spinning without the front going).
Yeah, seems pretty standard like my Z.

Eco lets it use the DoD and turn off 4 cylinders, Wet makes it really retard the throttle input and up the traction control. Tour is "normal". Sport and Track bot firm the suspension and change the throttle mapping more aggressively. The PTM modes in Track give you 5 levels of nannies from traction control and active handling both on and combinations until they are both fully off.

No real HP change, although one of my employees claims on his 1M that the M button modes do change the power. :notsure: :doe: as I haven't looked it up.

:yeahok: It is the 30% physical throttle = 90% throttle remap powaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa. I can barely tell a difference in mine, outside of the transmission modes which are quite different.

Unless the popo pulls you over and sees a dad driving it and cops will say nice car and let you off with a warning

There wasn’t time for a ride that would have been meaningful in any way (nearest fun roads to my office are too far away) but man that thing sounds great, and I really liked the interior. The red dash is a bit much but it’s liveable.
