Just adding a data point, FWIW. I have the DHP and sport package. When I move the lever to the left, it changes to sport mode, and is in 7th (not 8th) gear. Shift points change, but I can't say (yet) if its the same as when putting the DHP in Sport mode. Touch the paddles once, and you're in mostly manual mode. I say mostly, because if you're in M7, and you get off the freeway/motorway to a stop, you find yourself in M2 (which isn't a bad thing). I think that's part of the "safety" the other poster was referring to. I don't believe (haven't tested, too new) you get any "assisted" upshifts, you just find that your go pedal isn't effective anymore.
