Sport+ & a/c

I've noticed that in SPORT+, in my A-SPEC SH-AWD/TECH, the A/C blows harder, & is somewhat colder
Don't use + that often, but when I do.............
Is it me, or does anyone else feel the same
Thoughts?

Should be just the opposite. A/C performance is cutback during acceleration in Sport +.

I haven't noticed any difference at all between Sport and Sport + in that regard.

Similar experience....I noticed that in Economy it turns down the blower motor fan, it gets audibly quieter. In all other modes (Normal, Sport, Sport+) it was the same.

As per the Acura site:The IDS button on the center console lets the driver cycle through the driving modes and view them on the Multi-Information Display (MID).
ECONOMY – To maximize fuel efficiency, Economy mode reduces sensitivity to minor throttle input changes, allowing more consistent engine speed. Automatic climate control is also dialed back to ease load on the engine.
NORMAL – A balanced, Acura-level mix of comfort and handling. “Just right,” you could call it.
SPORT – The power steering assist is reduced to increase steering feel and feedback. Response levels for P-AWS or SH-AWD and the Drive-by-Wire throttle are heightened. Active Sound Control is diminished to let in more of the beautiful engine note.
SPORT+ – While maintaining Sport levels and easing climate control, Sport+ adds a much more aggressive – and much more fun – shifting algorithm. This is the way to experience the full potential of the TLX.

Is it diminished or just they pipe in more fake noise. I have had ANC disconnected for a few weeks and love the car now. I do not find there is any more noise than with it connected and I do not miss the fake engine noise as now I can hear the music crystal clear. It still may be placebo, but the lows seems beter and the overall sound system sounds cleaner.
