In short, no they don't. I had a 4 series, I had a Stinger, nearly clone cars, right down to the throttle response in regular mode, eco, sport and custom. These always reset themselves back to "comfort" too.

My V8 Camaro is able to stay in sport, and the throttle is regressive, it does the most during the first part of the travel, later on having "not much left", unlike Track which is linear. It's good for initial kicks/acceleration rate. It's basically the opposite of what you claimed above. Now, it's a big V8, it's not going to be as rev-happy as a 2L with a 7700 RPM limit (I've been there too), but just throttle response, totally the opposite of what you claim.

Maybe Camaro is the exception to the rule, dunno, haven't driven the latest one. My experience comes from American SUVs, trucks, Mustangs, and Corvettes. Those all have throttles that are basically asleep. My TBSS also has a 6L V8, and even with bolts and a tune the throttle is more slow to react than my X5 M50i.

No bias here, just experience.
