But that's 1/2 the fun of driving though isn't it ? learning a bit of throttle control and feeding in the power just below the point you loose traction and actually being involved in the driving process rather than just burying the throttle and expecting the car to do everything for you ?
Well it is with me but maybe I'm just getting old 
the Xbox playing youth of today just want easy speed, Ok I'll get my zimmer frame now....
Heaven forbid!
You'd be burnt at the stake on certain forums for that sort of attitude! Or whatever the modern equivalent of that is, forum lynch mob ?
Some days my Clubsport seems to feel like a scalded cat and other days it feels a bit sluggish in the low to medium range so I think there is definitely a pair of maps injected into the ECU. One being the original Leon Cupra 265PS map and the other being the 290PS Cupra map but where the changeover between them is would be anyone's guess as I've never felt a step in performance.
I've accelerated out of fast roundabouts onto dual carriageways plenty of times before and would say, having owned an R and a GTI PP, sometimes there's definitely more than 265PS and sometimes there's definitely less than 290PS. More noticeable to me in quickish road use is the torque difference between to two maps because the 265PS map feels less torquey than the PP 230PS map but the days the car is in scalded cat mode it's easily as quick as my R was.
