I will say this about sport mode when in manual on the A/T. I believe it does affect shift times, especially downshifts, but I know it affects throttle response.

I have spent a few nights taking the car out to learn donuts (never done them before). I have been getting a hang of them pretty good, making a lap or two around cone. One night I was really struggling and couldn't hold a slide at all. I had forgot to put sport mode on, and once I did I didn't have the same trouble. Nothing else changed beside the sport mode, so the throttle input does change with sport mode on while in manual mode.
