Jag gave us the loud mode then Ford gave us the drift mode and now McLaren has given us Burnout and Donut mode. What's next?

Driver emulation mode. You select a race car driver and the car recreates their drivin' style! Just don't pick a crash prone driver.

My new-to-me 87 Galant came with a normal and sport mode for the transmission, and both height and ride firmness adjustments.

I couldn't tell a difference in the transmission modes. The special struts for the height-adjustable transmission were expensive, and the previous owner had replaced them with standard units.

There were two steel air cans (er, reservoirs) for that fancy transmission system that sat on top of the struts in the rear. In fact, the struts bolted to these, and they themselves bolted to the body of the car. So when the previous owner got the plebian, non-adjustable units, he simply unbolted the old strut and stuck in the new one. So when I got the car, the rear end sat about 3 inches higher than it should have. Because I had zero frame of reference, I drove it that way, assuming that was just how it was supposed to be. One day, poking around underneath, i found the cans and realized that the rear end should've been lower.

I left it raked, though, because it was pretty badass.

Koenigsegg will soon be on board with a "sensible and not unnecessary amounts of power" mode.
