In manual mode, you won't be using every gear to redline, but you still get the fastest shift out of all the modes.

get a motorcycle. now that is "live your life right now mode".
or a bicycle. i commute to work on a motorcycle or a bicycle.

Every review I've read on the TC-SST acknowledges that the auto S-Sport mode has an uncanny ability to keep you in the right gear on the track. Exactly the reason it becomes a handful on the street.

<------ Patiently waiting for that magical number 1000 (miles)... to use the s-sport...

I remember that! I even have pictures of that magical moment some time around 2am on a parkway a long ways from home

Super sweet story man haha glad you like the s-sport mode.

Hi all, pardon if this is slightly OT. but i am very curious to know which mode is assumed to have been used when Mitsu (and most car guides) indicate a 0-to-60 of approx 5secs for the Evo X? If "normal" then anyone know what the 0-60 is in "S-Sport"???

Interesting. I'm about to take the plunge back into the Evo world for a third time (Looking at an MR Touring) but have reservations about the sequential manual. I'm bored with my 335d and its awful slushbox but think the SST will be a nice gap between the annoyances of a full manual for a commute and the poorly sorted shifting of your average traditional automatic.

I've been reading old threads for the past couple of days and I think I'm comfortable with the idea of the SST and think I'll enjoy it.

The stickshift ***** will disagree, but the sst is faster and more accurate. I also find I'd rather have my full focus on the road when driving under more challenging conditions at high speed. However the sst is at heart automatic so for those who feel the need to pump a clutch and twiddle their stick it may be a tough transition.

Road and Track's last test had the 2010 SE at 13.2 @ 104 and 4.6 to 60.

thanks, but the question is: are the performance stats based on NORMAL mode, SPORT mode or S-SPORT mode???

trick3d

I bet they are based on S-Sport mode.

s-sport with launch control.

1000 to use SSport? Where is that written? If that's true then I'm screwed lol. I used it a FEW times before 1000.

Is that what you assume or do you have a link to something verifying it. I would assume the same thing, but I don't have anything to verify it. Thx/Jim
