My butt dyno says the Z has about 100 whp less now than when I bought it new 6 years ago. In reality, I've just gotten used to the power and am a better driver now.

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)
