New Driving mode

So here in an interesting question,

Is there a way to have a driving mode that would leave the transmission in comfort/eco mode, but the active Steering and Active suspension and traction control all engaged? OR simple put is there a way to get a driving mode where the cars is in sport mode but with the comfort/eco shift points? Perhaps programming or an addon device?

Perhaps I am being silly but, I think this would be a great canyon carver mode where I don't need acceleration but would like improved handling.

If I'm reading correctly you want sport steering & suspension but comfort throttle. I may have a solution for you. I know Ideas Machine group has a throttle controller that lets you set the responsiveness of fly by wire throttle. I think it has 9 or 10 settings going from eco to race. They have installed a a bunch on cars in the NJ area. I know some one there, if you're interested shoot me a dm, and I'll send you their email and get you in touch.

With Cobb AP I can also change throttle responsiveness, load etc. depending on the comfort/sport setting. But, of course, Cobb AP is quite outdated considering the possibilities MHD has to offer.
