Shifting to Sport with the gear selector only affects throttle/transmission. With DHP, besides throttle response, the other sport modes also can affect steering and chassis.
Also, shifting the gear selector to Sport will not let the car shift automatically once you start shifting manually with the paddles or the shifter. If you opt for Dynamic Handling Package the other sport modes (DHP has Normal, Sport and Sport +) will allow the transmission revert back to D after a short period after shifting manually.
When in D, I can't tell the difference, if there is one, in throttle response between Sport or Sport +, compared with shifter to the left - they each provide the same or similarly aggressive throttle, but not overly aggressive.
