Sport Mode in 2013 PP SHO

Isn't Sports Mode just moving the shifter to S?

I recall hitting the button twice to turn off advance trak,  which means all nannies are off. But you have to be going less than 50mph if I recall.
 
No. If you read your owners manual you will see by hitting the traction control button two times rapidly your car should go into Sport Mode. I would tell you what page to read but it's in my car at the moment.
 
You have to push twice REALLY FAST. Otherwise the traction control off will pop up. I always drive in sport mode, and half the time it doesn't work the first time. 
 
Cool, just looked it up in the manual.  I think I've pushed the button a few times since I've owned my SHO.

Going to play with it tomorrow.

Here is a screenshot of the manual for a quick lookup:

Wait...

I thought it was a single press for turning off traction control, two presses for Advance Trac Sport (or something) and then holding it down with brake pressed for 5 seconds gets you AdvanceTrac off, which is the cream of crop setting, and disables all nannies.

*EDIT
Nevermind. You beat me to it with the illustration above. XD

I have the exact same problem. . I've never seen sport mode message pop up just a quick flash.. the dealer said they couldn't find anything wrong ?
 
By putting the vehicle in drive and foot on the brake pedal and rapidly pressing the button twice you should see this on your dash,then same procedure by pressing the button once and finally holding the button down for five seconds you should see this,hope it helps someone,maybe you guys dont have the special edition PP,HA,HA,LOL. ;) ;)
 
Thanks Z.

Yeah, no Sport Mode for me. My friend is at the dealer trying to look into it. I can however turn the Advance Trac off as shown above.

JK- I get a quick flash and the flash says "Traction Control off".
 
Worked for me this morning.  Did it stopped and going 30mph while pushing in brake.  Doesn't matter if shifter is in D or S.  Couldn't tell any difference.

  Wish it would tell you somewhere which mode you are in, instead of just flashing it for a few seconds.

Did it say sport mode in the left side of the cluster?

Yes.  I'll take a video tonight and post it up.
 
My 2013 PP acts the same way as yours jmr061. 

Always has and I've never seen "sport mode" displayed.  I thinks it's still working though. 

I'm I have a short S turn (2 90 degree bends) that's great for testing.  I can tell the difference between Traction Off, 2 button press traction off, and 5 second button hold.  I will hit this bend around 50 mph and then try to accelerate hard through them to test these modes.  The sport mode will still allow me to accelerate through the bends with just some tire spin but won't allow the car to get sideways or under steer much.  The 5 second everything off is a little hairy and will actually allow the car to fish tail or understear, depending on my driving.
 
Those of you that can get advancetrac sport mode to display on the 2013s Id like to know manufacture date and vin. I want to see if I can figure out why some do and don't have it. Can't get mine to show it either.
