There is a notable difference. The car is more eager again in terms of gearing (as the step up is from normal mode to dynamic mode). Downchanges at higher rpm and keeps in the power band.
You’ll know once you try. If you think it’s easy for pops and crackles in Dynamic mode, wait until you try both dynamic and sports mode just pottering around town.

Next time I’m out in the car I’ll be comparing the difference between dynamic mode only and dynamic and sport mode together.

Yes, plenty of pops and crackles already. One of my work colleagues swore he saw flames coming out of the twin central exhausts when I overtook him a few months ago. I looked into this and apparently tiny droplets of fuel are released into the exhaust system for this purpose!

Looking forward to trying out what you’ve suggested :D

Flames out the exhaust lol, do you really think jag would sell a car that had flames coming out the exhaust.
What happens is the computer allows extra fuel off throttle which makes the pops but because we have front engined cars and cats you'll never get flames out the exhaust.

Perhaps my work colleague was referring to the pops and crackles coming from the car's exhaust system but he said he saw flames?

Anyway, to prove a point, here's a video of an F-Type with flames shooting out of the exhausts. The volume is a bit quiet so needs to be on high!

Bob, me, say such a thing? 😉

Anyhow... For the OP; Most of the Ayemercan modders have played around on the drag strips, and from what I recall for the fastest launch (V8) :

Gearbox into sport auto mode
Dynamic selected for car setup
Dynamic selected/highlighted for engine and box in info menu
Foot to the floor and enjoy...

When we had the V6 Coupe, I must confess I did mess with the launch quite a bit, however I spent most of my time faffing to get it into launch mode, I thought it easier to just set the gearbox engine to the above modes worked well enough.

Knew you had more sense not to say such a thing :lol:

Thanks for the info.

Yes, 'dynamic launch' on the V6 S is a fiddly procedure and not really worth it as far as I can see...........far better to select sport and dynamic mode together as I have recently found out!
