Possibly, but it's also about how the question is phrased.
"My mate's got a Focus ST and we were doing 120mph on the motorway and he was pulling away, how can I make my car faster than his?"
"I would like to get some more straight line speed out of my Zed, what's the best way to achieve this?"
Identical questions really, as the answer is the same for both, but it's fairly obvious which one is going to get the proper answer.
