Fastfwd75 Posted December 17, 2018 Report Share Posted December 17, 2018 Was doing an impromptu drag race from a red light against a Nissan Armada. I was not in sport mode; only D and he beat me to about 40mph after which I backed down because public street limited to 35. Are Armadas crazy fast for that size or does D restrict the engine on top of deadening the gas pedal and shifts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akirby Posted December 17, 2018 Report Share Posted December 17, 2018 There is no difference in power between D and S. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JacobZ06 Posted July 10, 2019 Report Share Posted July 10, 2019 Our 2018 MKX is noticeably more responsive in Sport Mode. It may be simply how the software delivers throttle response and more aggressive transmission behaviour in Sport vs Drive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BAYLENSMAN Posted July 10, 2019 Report Share Posted July 10, 2019 Remember most of the Armadas are 5.6 liter V-8s rated at over 390 ftlbs torque and 390 HP mated to a 7spd trans. so your giving away quite a bit in a "RACE" even at red lights but you also talking a combined EPA of 16 MPG.
