Remaps shift points. I can't explain it, but even if I'm in 6th gear going a steady speed, I feel a difference when I toggle that switch on and off. The pedal seems to get touchy, but it's more than that. Anyone else notice this? It's more than the power of suggestion...I've had others riding in the car with me confirm. Well, we could ALL be crazy, I guess...

Well it depends on where you are racing. If it's on the streets maybe before you race you should think about the other lives you're putting at risk. JMO

From the little I know, I would say:
-Turn on PWR (with ECT button).
-Let it shift for you (because it will anyway, even in S mode, if set to a high number, and if set to a low number, you are not better than it)
-Turn TRAC off (so it won't limit power due to one wheel slipping).
-Leave VDIM on, because it won't affect much (except save you from yourself).
That sound about right, guys?

All that extra wind entering your cabin doesn't make that car anymore aerodynamic.
