Sport mode can mean a couple of things, really...

The Automatics GM now uses ('cept the 4 speed) all have (in some form or another) a "P", "R", "N", "D", and "S" mode.

When in "D" it's acts as your normal Automatic. In "S" mode (Sport/Performace), the more advanced tranny's learn your driving technique, and adapt to know when to shift, and when not to. For instance, when you let off the gas to go around a corner? It won't shift into OD. Also in "S" mode, you can press the paddles, tap the shifter, etc to change gears. From the first tap/pull/push, the shifting from then on is driver controlled. To end this feature, you need to shift back into "D".

This is how I understand it works in the Corvette.
