        It pays to proofread!   -  AchTTung-Vollgas  2014-06-02 20:54:27 (427 views)
      - LOL, that is surely one approach you could take. Just like a recovery chute for an ultralight. - SevernTTRS 2014-06-02 19:38:36 (408 views)
    - I also always completely turn off the stability control, don't even use sport mode. - SevernTTRS 2014-06-02 05:00:19 (494 views)
      - You don't firm up the MagRide shocks with Sport mode?  -  Marty33  2014-06-02 10:26:37 (447 views)
        
        I have KW Clubsport coil overs so I firm up the ride that way. Sport mode button does nothing on  -  SevernTTRS  2014-06-02 14:34:51 (445 views)
        
        Got it. Sport button just makes it harder to modulate the throttle now. ;)   -  Marty33  2014-06-02 16:20:27 (465 views)
        
        I find it easier to heel-toe with sport mode since the throttle is more responsive   -  DoTheDew  2014-06-03 06:36:29 (447 views)
        
        Any of you actually heel-toe? I use left side / right side of my foot for brake / accel.   -  Marty33  2014-06-03 14:54:22 (410 views)
        
        I do the same. Need to check if APR does anything different when in sport mode. I was pretty  -  SevernTTRS  2014-06-03 15:24:24 (427 views)
        
        I think APR stays the same; UM eliminates the weird twitchy throttle in Sport mode   -  as350  2014-06-03 20:42:44 (420 views)
        
        thats what i do too. blip with right side of foot   -  trichards  2014-06-03 15:01:04 (444 views)
        
        Yep. The procedure is misnamed, but is easier to say than "left side of foot/right side of foot."   -  AchTTung-Vollgas  2014-06-03 21:56:24 (410 views)
