The video definitely is proof that what feels quicker/faster isn't necessarily the case or at least, not as dramatic as one thinks. Noise/vibration/harshness and the shape of powerband can greatly impact one's perception of speed.

Yes, I wanted to do that video but I only ended up with both cars for a week and couldn't get it done.
As I've said, my tuned M235 was probably just as fast as my M2 but it is the way it made the power that was very different. The m235 had more lag and ran out of steam high in the revs. These traits made for a totally different experience. Not only did it not feel as fast but it was far less enjoyable to drive.
