Is "S-Sport" mode too much for Auto Cross!?

I'm not going to argue either. it's 50/50 all the time, just like all the evos. It's a mechanical limitation that CANNOT be changed unless you put a different diff in the car. The diff does not work like the STi diff whatsoever. I'm not really sure why it's even a question anymore.
The things you are" feeling" has to do with ACD strategy of lockup. IE, it locks up quicker in "snow" then tarmac, and that has to also do with steering input and angle.
ASC gives the illusion of forward/aft pull or push because of the braking assist / AYC assist / throttle assist strategies.

One push off ASC yes. I'll let the other SST guys weigh in on S-Sport mode, but I thought my friends with paddle shifters liked them in pure manual. I don't know about the Evo's but other cars can be neurotic and up/down all the time, esp when you lift off the throttle being "tentative" coming into a corner or something. Not having to worry about the clutch so you can get onto the gas earlier into the turn, before the apex, now that's fast. I"m still practicing my heel-toe everyday -- I suck -- and the SST makes that unnecessary.

When I did the Evolution Experience at Infineon in Sonoma we did a little autocross.
I am obviously inexperienced at autocross but i've had my X since they came out.
In the stock MR at the course I did much much better with Super Sport and i just left the ASC off.

S-Sport, full auto with ASC full off shd be the most efficient option for u. u gotta train ur right foot though
Quick feedback LOL: Just went back from Auto-X today which was my third auto-X (one was held at superspeedway with part of the real track). Had totally 10 runs. My best time was with mode set for "Sport". Did try several runs with "S-Sport" and it was too much power even leftover from engining breaking/downshifting and kept making all four wheels spinning at some corners... Maybe I should go easy on the gas padel, or maybe the animal would like to be slowed down LOL
. Anyway, what the manual says "S-Sport was designed for a closed track only" IMO was very true 
! Anyone got same feeling as mine?
PS: still new to the car as well as the Auto-X
