Sport mode
What do you guys think of the Sport mode on the Sport package. I've run it a couple times and it's like having a programmer at the push of a button and really kicks you in the pants! And is it just an option with the ecoboost?

It's all in the transmission. You can duplicate it when using manual mode.

I just tried it for the first time yesterday, and yeah I like it too. I like the downshifts to help hold speed when you're coming down hills, but the low end throttle response feels a little touchy, I will have to drive it more. Otherwise, geez it's like a different animal.

The sport mode disables a lot of the torque management restrictions as found in the other settings. This is what gives you the increased sense of power. Ford uses torque management heavily these days.
