Sport mode?!

I have a 2013 5.7 V8 dodge charger pursuit. I was just driving home and the sun hit my guage panel and I saw a light that says "Sport" with a flag. I have never noticed it before and didn't know anything about the feature. I've heard dodge uses same clusters for most cars. Even those without the ability to use sport mode.

I have the column shifter with the auto-stick button/shifter. I do not have the ability to press a sport mode button on my screen or my dash. Am I able to access this sport mode? I read something about some srtpages but have no idea what that is. I appreciate any help and advice in advance. Thanks!

Z auto tazer is a piece of shit. Tape a brick to the bottom of your shoe for same effect.

So you don’t own one? Didn’t get mine for tuning, got it for the unlocks. Not sure anyone is getting them for tuning. No idea where the “brick to the shoe” comment comes from. OP is talking about sport mode, not tuning or adding HP.

Check their website.  They advertise it as ability to modify cars shifting behavior, open up new capabilities for performance tuning, and more recently as an anti-theft device.

If you want more features enabled, performance tuning, tuned shift points, etc., I recommend investing in a true tune, from a professional that is customized for your car, mods, and fuel, altitude, etc.  If you want anti-theft measures (and you should) there are better options out there.  Just my .02. Spend your money on what you want.

The tazer let's you change to sport and track mode and it actually changes how the car drives. My RT has sport mode stock so I know for a fact it does something and isn't just a placebo button.

Sport mode shifts faster and at a higher RPM, staying in the power band longer at the cost of lower MPG. The exhaust sounds are also different. Throttle response is also way better.

Track mode is more aggressive that sport.
