  • "performance mode" switch

    Hey guys,
    The other day I was looking through my manual and came across something. It makes mention of a "performance mode" switch that when pressed, makes the car shift more performance oriented among other things. Is this feature strictly on the Formula's and T/A's? The manual doesn't say anything about where it would be located and I don't see anything like that anywhere in my car.

          Are they strictly on the V8 models?

            Some V6's have them, V8's were by default in the performance mode.
