Driving either one in stock form, I have to say, feels like my right foot is pressing into a block of clay.
Still, there is a big difference between the two.

I recall a dyno-day where I drove a euro Carrera that I had just seen putting up the big HP numbers. Driving it I first thought it was just my power expectations being too high. Nope. Got back into my less than stock HP SC and enjoyed much snappier throttle response. It did not pull nearly as hard on throttle, but the snappy throttle was there.

Come to think of it, driving (previously Warren's) 73S (stock w/ MFI) that felt very SC like. The snappiest I've driven was likely a carb'd 2.7 in a 1972. I have yet to drive an EFI car that feels snappy.
