So Comfort mode DOESN'T give you the quickest launch after all?
Many of us on here, myself included, have seen or experienced that leaving in the car in Comfort suspension mode result in a quicker acceleration due to the suspension in Sport+ being too stiff. However, in this video of a C43 vs a Genesis G70, it's clear that the car in Sport+ is noticeably quicker. Not sure why this is. Were we wrong after all or are other factors at play here?
I just drove a 2021 g70 and it felt super torquey and potentially even faster than the c43. So kinda surprised.
the rest of the argument I couldn't care less about. I drive in sport+ and manual 95% of the time.

To the best of my knowledge, I am not sure that people on this board recommend that “Comfort Mode” be used for fastest 0-60 and 1/4 miles times. Rather, the general consensus is that “Individual Mode” with everything set to Sport+ besides the suspension set to “Comfort” results in the best times. In terms of my personal experience I have seen this to be true.

Anyone else notice that on S+ on upshift brrrttt, there is slight hang where no speed is gain when the car need to let one fart out. Is it me or you pay more attention because of the extra pops unlike on other modes with normal pop?

You only get the brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrapp when holding WOT, if you let off a bit it just shifts hard as usual, but without the fanfare of the fuel in the exhaust popping....I must admit, it does sound pretty freaking wild....even my 63S doesn't do that!
