[Normal as in regular folks not like us, who will take a rental car on a motocross track and break all boundary limits.]
People’s perception does change their performance.
Shop / Physics teacher use to show us those tricks.
Have someone stare at a red object and their arms straight out are hard to push down.
Have them stare at a yellow one and even though they/you feel like your trying to hold them up just as hard, your easily overpowered. [Doesn’t matter which order you do them in.]

That's interesting, but it still wouldn't change the performance of the *car.* It would change the performance of the driver.
