Default Sport + mode - Always

Does anybody know if there is a way to make the RC stay in Sport + mode all the time? I hate having to switch to it every time I start the car.

It has to do with how fuel mileage is rated by the EPA. If the car can start up in a Sport mode, then the mileage on the sticker has to take that into account. But if it starts in Normal mode, the sticker does not have to reflect it.

You can read more about it here:

Seriously? I hate having to pull the door handle to get in. If only the door would open and close itself like an elevator.

Default Default mode

If only the tuners would crack Tiyota's code. Then we could select defaults such as turn off trac-Control, turn on sport mode and door close. Heh,heh,heh...
