The car would still squirm around while pushing hard out of slower bends but just seemed a little more refined so the power was still there just being delivered slightly differently. Does that make any sense? Might be one of that "you needed to be there moments".

The flap has to open at some point - whether 'sport' mode selected or not. Foot to the floor in either mode still means that the flap is open which means equal power output. 'Sport' mode selection merely affects which throttle profile is used and determines at which engine RPM the flap opens. If 'Sport' is on the throttle response is slightly quicker and therefore has a (very small) affect on acceleration response.

I think Shimmy knows the RPM point at which the flap opens in each mode. It was on an old post somewhere on here...

Think I'll take the bugger out eventually by the sounds of things! (should have listened to you months ago)
