Sport Mode

While paddle shifting does it make a difference being in sport mode compared to normal? I watched a video and it said in Sport mode while paddle shifting the throttle response is better. Is this true?

Being in sport mode makes the shifting between gears happen quicker. When you are in normal mode it allows the clutch to slip a little bit making for smoother shifts. I personally don't think it matters in sport mode if you use the paddles or the gear lever, yet I know some people have said that the paddles seem to shift faster than the gear lever.

I always thought that the gear shift lever was faster than the paddles in sport mode.

I just tried both ways on my way home and gear shift lever felt like it was faster.
I think it's easier to upshift on turns with the gear shift lever anyways.

Yea I found that shifting using the "stick" seems to be faster than using the paddles as well

I am not asking if paddle is better then stick. I am asking if putting on sport mode makes a difference while using paddles.
