This is true. You know with 100 percent certainty how hard you will accelerate vs someone else.

If you had valet mode turn it on. Then do a launch as if you're going for a 12 second quarter. You will move forward as if you were anticipating the pull. (Speaking from experience)

OMG Part Deux: I just picked up my car from getting the Stillen Gen 3 cai installed. It is so much faster (just kidding). I'll truly never know if my car is fast because I'm not letting my crazy friends drive it, especially with me in the passenger seat.

Before my Z, I had a 2011 G37xS with nearly every bolt-on and an Ecutek tune. Throttle response was definitely better than my Nismo. So much so, that I would say it was faster at least from the jump. My FI exhaust should be arriving any day now, and I'll get an intake and Ecutek tune to resolve the throttle lag I'm experiencing.
