heres what I think I know which is from reading the book, talking to dealers, reading articles:

the sport mode does not affect the suspension.

it does affect throttle sensitivity/ response, which is why if you push it while you have any throttle youll feel a little lunge.

it also "tightens" the feel of the steering via the m-servo system.

those two I believe to be fact. heres what I think it also does but I dont know for sure:

I think it also modifys the DSC settings so you can "get away" with more before DSC kicks in. If you turn off DSC, I think there are still other "safety features" that remail active and the sport setting I think also modifys their settings as well.
