Default Any way to set Sport+ and trac off as the default?

I am trying to find a way to have the car default to sport+ and trac off as the default, rather than having to change these every time i start the car. Wishful thinking I'm pretty sure, but maybe there is a way...

No, there is not a way to do that AFIK. I believe he current default mode is to get the car's fuel efficiency numbers, probably, keeping the ULEV, if any, intact and.to comply with corporate "wisdom".

Lol, you are like me. I always intend to be in Sport + just because I think the car better in that mode. I do get the little or pause (which I still believe is an 8 speed tranny downshift issue) going around corners in normal mode. In fact, normal mode can be very annoying due to very unaggressive mapping and 8 speed tranny.

Hahaha... Yeah now I'm like a pilot with a check list: Sport+ mode - check. TVD track mode - check. Traction Control off - check...

Anyone else notice that on the freeway Sport S+ doesn't shift past 6th gear ???

I found using Sport S solved that issue...

Sport S+ in Manual Mode is fun, but you have to switch back to Sport S if you want to use your other two gears..

I have seen mine go to 7 a couple times at about 80 mph on flat level highway, but it seems to be the exception rather that the rule.
