There is probably some truth to that. I just recently got my car, I have no idea how the prior owner drove, and the weather hasn’t been conducive to pushing it. I wonder if there is a way to reset and let it re-learn. I’d prefer some more aggressive behavior

Just throttle it's neck like you're in the fight of your life (when practical) and it will learn to do what you want.

So, if you put the Drivetrain in Sport and Chassis in Sport, it's like having the car's Drivetrain in Sport S mode while having the suspension in Sport S+ mode.
Setup this custom mode today and took it out to test. Noticeable difference versus Sport S. Really like this mode - stiffer suspension and heavier steering whilst not having the aggressive behaviour of Sport S+.
