It matters when you are in 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, or 6th gear and are still accelerating down the front or back straight when your wheel spin stopped after the chirp of a hard shift, trying to keep up with the other cars who are now passing you because you can't match their power.

Traction & grip is one thing, power to keep moving in higher gears at the pace of higher powered cars is another issue.

So what about the driving technique known as throttle modulation? I find that feel very lacking in the drive by wire systems, and can only hope it's better in the M2, but still usable to keep wheel spin at bay.
