Today I had the idea to conduct a little experiment.

With the car in park (and warmed up) and in efficient mode give it just enough throttle to get off idle to around 100rpm. While holding that switch the engine to sport, and watch how much it jumps and holds. Then go to sport+ while still holding the pedal position. It really shows how non-linear it is in all modes. Despite that I find it easy to modulate in normal driving situations. I did find at the M school that in efficient the car is easier to drift on the skid pad than in sport+.

And as I've posted before, even at <1/2 throttle in efficient you sometimes get full throttle as evidenced by the torque gauge reading ~550. I find that while the computer is always playing around it makes the car feel fast and is easy to control in good and poor traction conditions.
