That's correct, max revs doesn't mean max power or torque.
But going beyond max power is say 2nd will mean 3rd is closer to max power when it's selected, less of a roller coaster in power delivery.
I'm with the rest on this select S, floor it and the car will give you the best output.
In truth when flooring it I'm not sure there is a difference between C and S as the car will rev to the limit in both.
