    Sport Mode/Shift Points/OD lockout would be nice

    I've written about this before...still no-one seems to have come up with an improvement.

    This is wierd...and still under warranty at least...has anyone heard of this?.....I get a loud cracking noise as the exhaust warms up and also on cooling down with the engine off.
