Oh, I didn't know the OP was referring to Snow mode. I thought they meant granny mode = default start up mode, and sport mode = sport selected with M mode. In other words, I thought they were basically asking will the car always give the same 0-60 times no matter what you have selected.
Granny mode = default start up mode,
Sport mode = sport selected with M mode.
In other words, I'm asking if the car always give the same 0-60 times no matter what you have selected.

With snow mode on the F cuts the power by about 40% from the feel of it. It is like driving a regular IS250.

^^^ Thanks! Thats something interesting to know, you would think and feel that the car puts out alil more torque when in snow mode to provide alil more traction to get you outta those tough situations. I guess i wouldnt know or need to use this feature till later down the line, but still some good useful info, thanks!

No it doesn't. It slows throttle response if you move your foot quickly, but at WOT they're all the same. Guys were dyno testing in snow mode when the 350 was new to prevent downshifting while on the dyno. It didn't change the curves at all - power was exactly the same. So no matter what you think about what the car is doing, it will actually give all it has if you just press hard enough on the pedal.
