Sport+ takes off traction so when you get get on it the slip light doesn't come in.. So the car is actually faster in sport +

Sport+ activates dynamic traction control. It allows some slip angle and wheel spin without it being completely off like holding the TC button.

I use Sport+ all the time as to not have power cut from traction control.

It only allows some slipping angle before intervening.

It depends on your definition of dangerous.

I use it every day, just not in rain or snow.

Depends how good a driver you are. If you don't know what to do when you break traction don't use it.

you can really appreciate the difference b/w sport and sport + driving on the snow.
Sport + allows more drifting in snow but can be dangerous.
