Depending on how they tune it you can feel like you're only pushing the pedal 30% and it's giving 80% throttle, etc... My WRX was like that and a tune made it much better. It "feels" like you're always flooring it but it just makes it harder to be smooth with.
That's practically all turbo cars once on boost, twin scroll helps a bit.

The journalists would be been screaming bloody murder had the GR86 been given that kind of throttle mapping on an NA engine.
