X2. Early in my instructing career, I had a student with a newish 911 Turbo with manual, but also had Sport (+?) mode. He insisted on using it. Behavior was bit herky jerky, but I couldn't talk him out of it. Mike Levitas happened to walk by in the paddock, and poked his head in to ask how the owner liked the car. Driver mentioned he was new to the track, and was trying to get used to the car. Mike saw that Sport mode was activated, and suggested he turn it off, because the throttle mapping, etc. really worked best with an experienced driver. Whala!....turning it off made the car much more docile, and my student was able to focus more on driving the track, versus fighting the car.
