I completely agree. The new stuff is so smooth, as you can control the power much more accurately. It does however lose a bit of the bottom end muscle. Before you used to breath on the pedal at 2000 RPM and it would sprint off. Now you have to use more pedal for the same effect, meaning you can now adjust the power and this makes it alot smoother in general driving, but I think even at low RPM, if you do press the pedal all the way down it is as quick as before. The new stuff requires you to floor it to get full power, but as a result, you can now adjust the power for the full pedal travel, whereas before, particularly at low RPM, full power was available at half pedal, and no difference above that.
