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)

Chuck beat me to it. I have a friend with a supercharged s2000. That car felt fast when it had 240hp and it feels almost the same with 450whp. I can't stand being in the passenger seat. AKA not being in control.

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.
