thanks...
Nope. Put it in PWR mode if you want improved throttle response. Honestly though, the 250's are underpowered, manual or auto.

Manual models do not have a PWR mode. There are no buttons on the car that will change throttle response.

If you want improved throttle response, get a throttle controller and/or a lightweight flywheel with sprung disc.

Anyone recommend an aftermarket LSD? I always get stuck going up driveways because the car goes onto 3 wheels

Or just push the gas pedal further, since that's all the throttle controller is doing

Correct.

Still, adjusting the response curve can make a decent change to perceived throttle response, especially with the heavy dual mass LuK flywheel.
