V6 drive mode and manual mode?

Is there any significant difference in the two when driving them in these 2 modes. I've test driven the v6 in D mode and it felt fast does the Sport or manual mode make it feel faster? Thanks

I would also be interested to know. I've mainly kept mine in "regular" mode 'cause it's brand new and I don't really want to go balls to the wall yet

The manual says something like, "it shifts more agressively". I'd imagine the sport mode would be more fun than regular (not that regular is anything to complain about).

Seems to me that the sport mode is for aggressive driving, and supreme passing. D mode is for the fuel conscious driver. But definitely more balls in the S mode, so yes, it makes it feel faster. in S The computer allows for higher revs before the next shift, while D mode is a quick shift low RPM sleeper.
