Stock…most are in the 13.8 range but I’ve seen a few 13.6X runs posted.

Like to see someone who has run the times in each mode to see what happens!?! (at least normal, eco & sport) Would be a cool comparison.

It seems you're asking about stock ST quarter mile times, and the answer is generally NO.

90% of times posted are for tuned ST's.

This was last night. My 2022 is completely stock and had a full tank of gas (50% 87 octane, 50% 93 octane). My best launch was pumping the brakes to hold the car, then full throttle and releasing break. Car was in Sport Mode and left it in D. All shifts are good except the 3-4. It acts like it just bumps the rev-limiter, as it slows slightly during the shift.

Wonder what it will run after a couple of tanks of full 93octane.

Soon as you put your foot to the floor it negates those drive modes and they make no difference.

Really? I usually leave mine in Normal mode 99% of the time but when I do switch to Sport it seems to perform more briskly and the shifting is different than other modes...but I'm no expert.

You are absolutely correct about it responding differently while in sport mode, but at full throttle in a drag race scenario type of situation, all bets are off and those modes mean nothing at that point. Plunking around town is a different story and the different modes are quite significant.

Shifting definitely changes in different drive modes. So does throttle body open rate.

I'm now in Sport mode all the time. Normal mode is just annoying. That might change once I tune it. When I tuned my Edge ST, I spent more time back in Normal because it performed better than stock, but the transmission would never go into OD. This 7-speed/3-speed OD 10R does a lot better at shifting into 8, 9, or 10, depending on vehicle speed, to save fuel.

I might get a Dragy after the tune to see what the tuned numbers are.
