Does your car feel slow??

My wife and I work at the same place so we carpool in her lancer OZ Monday thru Friday. We take my car out on weekends so on Fri night I'm like "this thing is a beast", on Saturday I'm like "it's pretty quick", by Sunday it's the same old car. Once you get used to the power it doesn't feel nearly as fast but it still is just as fast. It's like crack on wheels- there's no good as hit as that first one.

thats what happens... my friend is bored with his 550hp supra, says it just doesnt feel that fast anymore... so i tell him ill drive it and remind him how fast it is!! haha.
you'll always get used to what you have just be careful, cause as you get faster it gets more dangerous!!
thats why i like slowly modding one thing to the next, every once in a while grabbin a couple extra HP... keep you entertained, always slightly gaining more power so you dont get bored!! until you reach some limits, then its time to get a new project!!

I get the Same Feeling with my MR2 Turbo, so what I did once was i accidently turned the boost down, i got a Electronic boost controler. I drove it like that for almost a week and a half before i went an retuned the controler, and i agin got the Speed rush. So you can just drive it at low boost for a while so you can realize how fast you have the car now ( if you got an electric controler that switches modes). But yeah thats a tuner thing that you only get a temporay realization of power, I call it a Speed rush, or the holy crap effect.

But I'm getting a 20g-9 installed with Buschur stage 4, Xede, Comp 280+ cams and meth injection, etc..
Hopefully that will help.

yea the first time i drove an Evo VIII last year on 10/19/2005 (yes a very important day that i memorized ), i was cussing everytime boost comes on.
now that i have my 9 for a month, the car still pulls hard, but not as much anymore. you just get used to it, nothing more. this is the reason why aftermarket supports are HUGE for our cars though

Anyways the first 2 weeks it was holy SHIIIIt this car is fast now its "ehhhh this pulls little" I don't think I lost any horsepower but I think it just me.
Does this happen to everyone? I thought somewhere around my power level I would be satisfied.

I'm afraid that once I get used to the 37r I'm going to be like damm why didn't I listen to myself and go with the 42r. LOL.
Are we ever happy? I'm sure that set up will keep me happy for at least a year or so. JK Go for it.
