130mph in a Lotus Exige feels alot faster than 130mph in a RollsRoyce as an example.
VERY Different cars I realise!
Feels quick in an effortless and more powerful way when its quieter IMHO
Drive an XJR for example, its a strange feeling after a stage 3 cossie, roughly the same shove into the seat, but it feels like the car isnt trying.
(im talking about during acceleration here, not sat at speed like in your example)
