Throttle response
#16
Sport S mode changes the gauge cluster lighting to a fiery red and alters the powertrain for faster gear changes and more dynamic throttle mapping. Sport S+ mode goes a step further by also tightening the F SPORT-tuned suspension and increasing steering response. In both modes, the transmission�s shift points are automatically altered coming into and out of corners for sharper acceleration." Gonna have to say FALSE, there. Acceleration out of corners is flat out awful as well.

As long as there is no hesitation, I am ok.

with 4gs, it is a lot easier to drive it fast, not just because it handles better, but because you can hold the gears properly for cornering. trying to drive fast in Auto mode is just not a good idea regardless of what car it is.

p.s. when it comes to throttle response, even GS250 i had yesterday, in Sport mode, had pretty good throttle response... it was instant.... it just didnt have any power associated with it :-).
GS350 is another beast.
