You also have to plan ahead, because if you want more power, you're going to have to use your right hand, or wait for revs to rise.

Unless your electronics tell you otherwise, I assume that you mean the pedal is 3/4 of the way to the floor? I'm not sure, however, how you accelerate slowly with a 75% throttle opening. I've been driving lately barely touching the gas. But there's no doubt, that would require some skilled feet!
