Guest Gitster Posted November 24, 2007 Share Posted November 24, 2007 Road rage = S# Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IAmMissJackie Posted November 24, 2007 Share Posted November 24, 2007 I am all about the S#, but traffic in So Flo is horrible I am forced to stay in S, for the gas millage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAINIAC SPEC B Posted November 24, 2007 Share Posted November 24, 2007 S# all the time except when the snow flys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bitumen Bullet Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 I mode is used most of the time due to hours spent on hyway's and in traffic. Â Wife uses S mode the most because that is the default mode. Â S# is my fav but like to kick it in for the manuver and then knock it back down to I.

Zed 2.0 Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 I is nice for getting around in bumper-to-bumper traffic. Nice mushy throttle response makes stop and go driving easy with a stick shift. Â S# is a very strange concept. It basically puts you at 9/10ths throttle with the accelerator halfway down. That makes it good for getting off the line, but weird for actually driving around. Roll on the throttle, get a nice kick in the pants, then floor it and get.... no more power. Â S is definitely the best all-around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTSPECB STI Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 what's I and S modes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmiller5 Posted December 18, 2007 Share Posted December 18, 2007 I for the commute and general movement in traffic. S# when I need to go zoom-zoom. S on the weekends for an all-around good time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aczwild Posted December 18, 2007 Share Posted December 18, 2007 I for the bad snow conditions S pretty much everyday S# only when I'm pissed at the car ahead, or if there is an on ramp calling my name http://images.nasioc.com/ubb-files/smilies/lildevil.gif I usually just leave it in S because I have no need for S# on my daily commute (ie 50mph speed limit for about 6 mins of the commute) JDM'd All to hell Thanks Jimmy @ Hkc-Speed.com!

bigb3630123 Posted December 18, 2007 Share Posted December 18, 2007 I'm glad I dont have those 3 choices so I dont have to think about it.... I would constantly be changing it and annoy myself ha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mand3j Posted December 18, 2007 Share Posted December 18, 2007 am i crazy? I thought that sport sharp changed the throttle mapping to be more aggressive, but only allows for 90%+/- throttle opening, while Sport allows for 100% throttle opening and is therefore the fastest of the 3 settings?

It's almost like night and day different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought that sport sharp changed the throttle mapping to be more aggressive, but only allows for 90%+/- throttle opening, while Sport allows for 100% throttle opening and is therefore the fastest of the 3 settings? What is fast? I've seen the needle sweeping past the one ton mark while using S# and wondered what the programmed limit was.  A full throttle pass in S does not "seem" to result in same acceleration. But then I do not get to drive it much and have not timed it. Maybe I'll see about borrowing an accelerometer, that would be objective. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Gitster Posted December 18, 2007 Share Posted December 18, 2007 one ton? Is that 2000 mph ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bitumen Bullet Posted December 19, 2007 Share Posted December 19, 2007 one ton? Is that 2000 mph ?  LOL, one ton is slang of a slang. Proper use (does slang have proper use?) would not have "one" in front of ton. I should have said "...needle sweeping past the ton...." then it might have made more sense (to some). I (and others) add the one because some folks do 2 ton, I've regularly done one and a half ton. Of course that was insanely fast when the term "ton" was first used for speed. To answer your question a little more directly:  In some cultures (Dutch for example) a hundred thousand is called a Ton.  A mile is a thousand double steps, left/right of a Roman soldier.  One hundred thousand double steps = ton of double steps = 100 miles.   Or to simply answer the question: ton = 100mph    And to answer the question you are thinking...Yes I can be hell to work with.

Bbc84 Posted December 19, 2007 Share Posted December 19, 2007 I and S mode most of the time. Currently mostly I mode due to cold weather and snow. S for normal driving without heavy traffic. And I rarely use S#, I use it when at the track, and sometimes if i need the kick when im trying to pass but in I mode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAINIAC SPEC B Posted December 19, 2007 Share Posted December 19, 2007 S# 95% of the time. I get my best gas milage using S#. I when the snow & ice flys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sirsimon Posted December 25, 2007 Share Posted December 25, 2007 I usually run S mode...yesterday I went for a drive through some curvy roads - first one in a loooong time, I might add, and I used both S and S#. S just feels more natural to me. S# feels artificial. Sort of like Nutrasweet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Obsessotron Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 I have never used anything but S#, I accidentally use S sometimes for a minute or two when I am in a hurry and forgot to switch it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
808subaru Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 S# all the time, unless i can't wait until the car warms up, then it only lets you drive in I or S mode. Then i switch it later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SubLGTaru Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 S most of the time. Used I mode like once. S# have used a few times on on ramps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
