Driving in eco with sport tranny

I don't like eco mode at all but I thought I'd try eco with the transmission in sport. It's actually kind of fun. Not for spirited driving or racing but it is a mode that is interesting. I don't know if you guys tried it but on my car on Map 5 with 4 gal e85 it has smooth shifting, revs up and has this power curve that is way different. It's almost like a massive turbo lag that hits hard. It's not linear at all, but for some reason is fun. The exhaust note is markedly different and I still get burbles.
Maybe it's just the combination of things but for regular driving is a different alternative to comfort.
Of course, the eco part and start/stop is not there, but I'm talking strictly driveability.

My engine is the N20 and I have no mods, but I've discovered that this combination is fun -- almost as much as Comfort with the standard tranny setting.
