Heard a game dev speak at PAX once. Testers said the car wasn’t fast enough. They kept increasing the speed but it didn’t change anything. Then they made the car red at the original speed and complaints stopped.
I think it was the original Mass Effect where sprinting barely increased your speed, but the game zoomed in the camera and increased the field of view to make it feel like you were moving quickly.

Maybe some people didn't notice. I noticed and it was still annoyingly slow.
