Do you like the sport button or use it regularly? I haven't in a while, mostly forget about it...I suppose the remapped throttle could be pretty fun with such a beastly setup. There is something to say about the psychological effect of a very sensitive throttle unleashing massive power

Could you describe how the sensation of the car pulling evolves through the rev range, say in 2nd to redline? Since my sneaky leak was fixed, I am quite happy with the midrange pull (as you say, 3k+), but feel like the car is not pulling significantly harder after about 5k (this is the natural torque peak, but still). Do you spin the tires in 2nd gear on dry pavement?

Where was your leak found? Only one, or multiple? Any details about the equipment used to locate it?
