Has anyone with a C63S Coupe noticed a significant power increase in Race mode?

99% of the time, I use individual mode with all settings in Race, M mode, and the softest suspension setting (I have a little over 1300 miles).

I was doing a short road trip from Boston to NY yesterday and decided to throw it into regular race mode in Automatic - I put my foot down at about 60 and the car jumped forward and pinned me back in the seat - it felt like I had just gotten a 30-40 HP bump as the car never pulled that hard before, even in lower gears.

Has anyone had similar experiences? I know with the Coupe that M mode actually changes the torque delivery so it's more linear up top, so maybe that's what it was (I drive in M almost all the time)? Either way, that one pull completely rewired my brain as I honestly thought the car was a bit down on power previously.

I am pretty sure someone Dynoed a c63s and did the first run in sport+ and second in race and it gained 20 HP

I remember hearing the same of a 15-20 hp increase, but did you not say you went from race Manual to race auto? That should not be a change unless it just shifted down to a lower gear when you hit it and in manual it would not.

ive always had my car in sport + in the individual mode. tried it in race today and it made a few more pops/crackles on exhaust. power felt same tho

I went from my Individual setting (which is everything set in Race mode, manual mode, and suspension set to comfort), to the actual race mode setting (not individual) in automatic.

Maybe the settings in my individual mode got messed up/cleared and the settings aren't actually in race even though it's indicated?
