The difference should be night and day.
Depending on your tires and road conditions you should be able to do WAY more than 2nd gear chirpies.
Power Key "On"
Going into 2nd gear at WOT should cause serious clouds of no expense spared super premium Z rated tire smoke.
Hammering the throttle at about 30mph in second gear causes tire smoke with no clutch needed.
Car pulls HARD from 3000 all the way to 7500rpm (and beyond).
Power Key "Off"
Feels like something the wife could drive to the shopping mall in the rain.
Initial acceleration feels good but runs out of wind quickly around 5000rpm.
