Is it bad that I'm addicted to the cracks and snaps the C450 makes in Sport+ mode?

I exclusively drive in Sport+ with comfort for suspension daily. And I do the snaps and crackles from every light. Any long term damage?

 

YOUR NOT THE ONLY ONE LOL... I DRIVE IN SPORT+ ALL THE TIME LOL.

 

Mine is C300 and i do the exact same thing. Now i have this hunger for more power. This does feel like addiction.

 

ALL DAY LONG ERRY DAY:

 

Drive select always on S+ and fuel tank always on E as a result. That crackle is the sound of unburnt fuel being wasted.

 

I pick an choose when to do it out of respect for neighbours and built up residential area's...

 

Just for ****s and giggles, I drove for an entire take on "comfort" & "economy" and compared my mileage.. It was lik 1-2mpg difference. Definitely not enough for me to think twice about that again. "Sport+" for life.

BTW, has anyone actually used regular "sport" before? I never have.

 

I've been using S and no S+, and have been comparing mpg between E, C and S. Maybe 2-3 mpg difference between S and C/E, thus not worth it to drive in C/E when I'm getting about 24-25 with S...except just to see what is the best mileage you can get around town

 

You notice the mileage difference the most hwy and fwy driving. My C450 will not upshift past 5th when it's in S+. Or maybe I just haven't gotten it fast enough yet Cruising at 85mph it still holds 5th gear in S+.
