Good to know.
Btw, does this work if we DO fully disengage DSC, by holding the button longer? Or, only with the DSC TAP?

For the rest of the trip, we came to affectionately call it the "Burble Button". The effect is decidedly more pronounced than any other combo... pretty cool.
is the DSC button the button that shows the rear of the car and says "off"?

Sounds cool but throttle response is awful and car feels slow.

I have to close my window with my gf. She does not notice it goes into the mode, but the moment I am open the window she is like... Can you close it again? I hate the noise...

I must say it works brilliantly for me. People first notice the noise and then see my plate and are like W T F... Also bikes and pedestrians notice you way earlier

Hidden benefits, I had not considered this. This should make people think twice about stepping off in the kerb in front of the car. I hate when people to this, particularly with baby carriages - Using the baby as a reason to barge in front of the car is down right dangerous and irresponsible.

On the contrary, it's highly recommended during the break-in period to have fun below 5500rpm

I might just be a grandmother at heart, but I've yet to find any situation in which I require the car to go over 3-4K. (Baring any "because I can" comments)

The MPE makes a great howl just as you crest the 3K tick mark. Especially when you're in track.. I mean sport mode of course!

Now if only I knew what that rattle in the roof is at 4K...

Because

At 4000 rpm you only get around 270 bhp. Almost a 100 to go from there...

In Canada we have been with the metric system for decades and we still don't quote in dorky KW and Nm.

Anyway the lack of desire or need to rev out today's high torque turbo engines has been a source of contention.
