So rather than spending money to recalibrate my throttle, I've just allowed my brain to recalibrate by getting used to it. I see no disadvantage in performance at all.

Comfort and traction actually have a very linear throttle response. The other modes have a negative exponential response where almost everything happens in the first half of the pedal travel and the remainder does very little. I prefer the extra finesse available at part throttle but as always, YMMV.

If any of you have any experience flying RC aircraft and programming "expo" on your transmitter, you will know exactly what I am talking about.
Yeah, I get your point and I do understand how the mapping curves work. But in my case I'm completely missing a mode for track driving - sport throttle, sport cooling, MDM. And I find it really annoying trying to shift smoothly when the throttle pedal does different thing in each mode.
