From what I understand and experience of PWR mode, it wouldn’t effect a quarter mile at all or any way. I run pwr most the time and there’s a major difference between it and standard. Mostly that when you *brake* or *slow down* it keeps the RPM's up longer. For example, you slap the brake pedal pretty hard and with pwr mode it will shift down and bring the RPM's up sooner.
I would suspect if people are saying pwr affects actual dragging, the effect they are feeling has nothing to do with it being set to “pwr”.
So in effect, if you were dragging a quarter with pwr on or off in which you went from 0 to 100 and then slammed the brakes to 50 and then back up to 100, pwr mode would perform better.
More so, if you are on an actual track with lots of turns and fast acceleration changes, pwr mode would be keeping you in lower gears and higher rpm's like you would be with a manual. It would perform much better.

do you do primarily highway driving in power mode? There is a clear difference in MPG - it is lower when you use PWR.
Anyone else have an opinion on 0-60 or 1/4 mile times with and without PWR? I would imagine it wouldn't make a difference, or PWR is faster, but definitely not slower. i haven't tested it yet.

I used it when I want to jet off the line
. It seems more responsive to less pedal input, but that could be my imagination. I find it increases throttle response, and seems to do engine breaking, as others have mentioned.
I was playing around with the paddle shifters tonight on the way home. Letting the engine rev up a bit. I don't really like the lag between shifts, but it seemed after a bit of use I was adjusting to it....
Probably use it a total of about 10% of the time. I do not used it enough to gage gas mileage. Which is about 23mpg on a tank right now, on my ~500mi/week commute.

Gernby spitting shift point knowledge, use Normal!
