You can certainly do that "with the stick" if it's a manual, but your's is an auto yes? Although it does depend on how yours implements the driver initiated gear selection and how long it holds it in gear. usually the "sport" button on an auto simply raises the upshift point maybe in concert with the fuzzy/adaptive logic in the transmission control.

Best is to try it and see if the shift point changes with the car in AUTO & Drive with the SPORT mode OFF and then ON.

That would be great but would require 2 concurrent/ selectable ECU maps/programs. Possible yes, but I doubt it.

PS: Come to think of it and in trying to give the fullest possible answer, one can cheat the ECU (not a good idea unless you understand every possibility) by telling it has a different intake air temperature than what it really has. This trick could be done with an appropriately placed resistor switched in and out of circuit. I doubt a car company would ever consider such a modification, but I'm sure some enthusiasts might try. It's not really recommended unless you know the cars fuel/air, power and thermal limits and can measure them to understand the changes. I wouldn't do it, but if I had a car I liked I might consider having the ECU remapped (chipped), but who knows: your insurance may vary. Undertake such at own risk
