Highway : comfort but sport mode on.
Sport mode is mostly always in bc I love having no turbo lag or engine lag.
I drive in all modes several times daily, PSM off as well at times.
Love having the options to change stiffness height sport etc.

Manual and in sport mode (the air suspension lowers it's height too) 90% of the time after engine warms up. Grid lock traffic or long late night highway drives when kids are sleeping in the backseat or when kids do homework they insist on auto (coz dad likes the V8 growl on manual mode) and comfort mode for a serene atmosphere.

plus one as it relates to gas mileage! The CTT is rated very close to the CS in mpg, very close to 16-22, maybe one mpg off.

If a CS driver is often in sport mode to get required performance, thereby reducing miles per gallon, while a CTT driver with all that power, achieves similar performance not breaking a sweat in comfort, might the CTT actually deliver better miles per gallon in the real world? Counterintuitive for sure... but maybe?

The base CTT is hundreds of pounds heavier than the base CS and that may well be the only reason the CTT has a lower mileage rating. If a CS driver is getting better performance by getting larger wheels, air suspension and PASM, PDCC, and PTV Plus, that will narrow the weight advantage of the base CS and the mileage advantage.

I don't think it's a valid comparison. The EPA estimates simply mean that going slow in a CS is going to be slightly more efficient than going slow in a CTT. They make no statement regarding performance. Assuming you mean acceleration when you say "performance", then increased acceleration is always going to cost more energy assuming equal weight--energy in this case being gas.

Another reason to get ceramics for the huge weight savings.

Ouch! rep says highly doubtful that he can help me add PCCB since we are only 2 weeks from production...

i asked him to try and think of other ways that we can try.... unlikely tho

sad that i'll be stuck with heavy brakes vs. ceramics!!!
