Hey all,
I tend to use Sport mode on my 2017 GT3 auto more than I don't, but it feels like a bit of a bother to have to turn it on every time I get in the car.

Question: Is there a way to always leave sport mode on?

TIA!

I've wondered the same myself.

Same here. When its on the 3 feels like the Mitsubishi Galant Ralliart I had. Both had a higher rpm idle and better throttle. Of course the Galant idled at nearly 3000 rpm and burned through a tank of gas like a drunk man at last call.

 

[Hi Im Mike]

What’s your gas mileage look like with sports mode on all the time? I wanna do the same

With the 2.5L and Sport mode on a lot, I can get anywhere from 16mpg in full manual and running it hard, up to 33mpg in mixed in town driving in auto but sport.

Any update on this? Maybe the guys over on the AIO tweaks thread would know how to enable this to always on

Sure, all you have to do is a manual swap and you won't need Sport Mode anymore.

But no seriously, I'm not too sure if it's possible. It would probably require some more in-depth reprogramming that AIO Tweaks couldn't do such as disabling the DRL, which resets after a few off/on procedures anyways from what I've been reading. Just make it a ritual of pressing the start button and hitting the Sport Mode switch much like you would disengaging a parking brake.

I believe the manual indicates sport mode is kicked off when you engage cruise control...sounds like a major tweak especially if you are like me and love radar cruise in heavy traffic.

Its possible but It doesn't matter unless your gonna drive like an idiot all the time, even when going to work, then its a waste of fuel. Its possible but not worth it.

I just drive like an idiot all the time so I really need this.
