This can give an illusion of a "faster" car or better throttle response or it can just make the car downright jumpy and too sensitive (which is my evaluation). However, I find it next to impossible to believe that you find a turbo charged N55 to have a better throttle response than the S65. You really must be confused.
+1 I have an N55 with the Sport Shift 8 Speed Auto. Throttle response is fast in Sport and Sport + modes, but not on par with an S65 ///M
