What does the Sport Mode do?
I've owned my 2011 IS-F for a couple of month now. I know the Sport Mode give the car crisper throttle response and it shifts quicker. Does the Sport Mode do anything else? Did a search and couldn't find the answer. Thanks guys!

Funny, I thought it did all those things too...but when I looked up the Sport button in the owner's manual, it didn't list any of those things. It said it adjusted the skid and traction controls to allow more spirited driving- or something along those lines.

You're right. It makes the VDIM more aggressive so you can actually put the car sideways quite a bit before it kicks in.

^ I was under the impression Sport mode "relaxed" the VSC and allowed for more yaw angle before intervention.... However, after winter driving my car, I can now say that there is no difference, and if there is, it's hard to tell.
I searched this forum and collected info on sport and snow mode, and made a post about it. The short version is;
(Sport mode)
- sharper throttle response, due to drive-by-wire throttle angle re-map
- heavier steering wheel feel due to less power assist
- more aggressive transmission shift points
