From my previous po,st placing the car in sport mode then downshifting to the lowest gear possible is the best scenario to launch these cars.
Yes I got that. You mentioned that in your original post.

As I was saying, the shifting sensations from my test drive of the C63 gives a sporty feeling like none other ATs. I like it.

I'm not refuting what you said about the need to downshift first rather than relying on kickdown function.
