Nothing compared to a glider winch start.
(liftoff around 2:00)
When the cable gets pulled taut the plane gets moving languishly. Then BOOM comes the power, and two seconds later you get jerked up high in the sky at a near 60° angle; and as you are laying almost flat in the plane, your feet are way up above your head.
Nausea is instantaneous, but just as you get aware peace returns as you're ascending at a constant rate with just the sound of wind rushing over the canopy and the occasional burr, rattle and clatter.
One small jump when the cable releases and you're flying.
Making matters worse you are not in control of the acceleration unlike the car thing.
