Does your car feel slow??
I have pretty much maxed out my turbo. I finally got my tuned by AL and dynoed 360whp/385wtq. HP could of been higher but my AIR fuel drops to around 10.8 around 6k rpm due to stock plugs.
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.

Nah, your car ain't slow or losing power, you just got used to your car 8- ) Remember the first time when ya test drove the evo, and you were like holy **** it pulls so hard!! But now its like, ehh.. its just another evo, nothing special 8- ) That's how I feel, so I am gonna start doin some more modding here and there 8- ) And O yeah, nobody is ever satisfied with the power they make, we all are addicted to modding our cars for more power!!

That is why I am going to save up and do a bunch of mods and a tune all at once just to have that feeling again like when I first bought the car of "wow this thing is fn fast!" Now it's like, "ehh, its OK I guess." But I know I will never be satisfied. If you are a true car guy, then you will never be with any car.

that's funny cause i keep telling my friend that i feel that my car is slow, that boost doesn't really kick ya back in da seat anymore, and they all look at me "ARE YOU STUPID?" yes, that is the response i get quite frequently when saying such things, they all say the car is faster than before, but to me it's just ahhhhh, snore, hahahahaha, i only get my motivation up when i beat another fast car, like a sti or something.

Ever since I bought my 9, I was not too impressed. I was comming from a modded GTi that was keeping up with stock evo 8 on rolls.
Everyone that geys in the passanger seat say it's MUCH faster then my GTi was. I think it is also due to the fact that is AWD and you don't feel that power as much, even though its there.
