Garage List
My daily M1 setttings, which I use as soon as its warmed up, are:
Throttle: Sport +
Suspension: Comfort
Steering: Sport
DCT: manual
DriveLogic: 2 bars
DST: MDM (Euro coding)

Once I put on the snow tires, I'll keep DST fully on.

I have M2 a bit more aggressive:
Throttle: Sport +
Suspension: Sport
Steering: Sport
DCT: manual
DriveLogic: 3 bars
DST: off

I enjoy the throttle in sport + and that it takes some concentration with DCT to not let the car buck back and forth starting off in 1st gear. It's kinda like learning how to be smooth with clutch or doing a good heal/toe downshift, but different!

I commute daily about 30 miles round trip through some of Seattle's heaviest highways so I have M1 programmed for all the comfort and easy driving stuff. Efficient, Comfort, Comfort, DTC in Auto.

For on ramp fun, I hit the Sport or Sport+ throttle response.

I'm going to need more time on the track to figure out what gets programmed into M2, but probably the M2 defaults (keep M-DTC on for now until I get used to this throttle and power delivery).

Honestly the wide dynamic range of this car was one of it's biggest selling points. It's amazing.

Am I the only one who daily drives in sport+ mode on the suspension??

I just love the stout, tight feel, even if daily driving and not in a hurry.


M1 on mine and my daily drive mode:
Throttle - Sport+
Suspension - Sport+
Steering - Sport
DCT - D3 or M2
MDM Mode

I don't ever switch settings. I start the car. I punch M1.

I have M1 set to:

Throttle S+
Dampers C
Steering C
DCT 2, Manual
DSC On

I switch things so rarely that, a couple of weeks ago, when I got into it with a Z06, I totally forgot that I even HAD an M2 setup, and just went, as-is. (FTR, my M2 is set to up the DCT to 3, and turn off DSC)
