You're just getting used to the power. It happens with all cars, unfortunately. Like someone else said, just keep the mods flowing.

Ride around in a full car (4-5 people). dump the people on the street and feel the increased powa.

Yes, having a **** commuter(93 Cavalier Wagon/rust mobile) car helps alot. Every time you get your EVO it makes you smile.

When you get your first ticket and have to slow down, you'll feel your car become powerful again.

Same boat here also, 1000 miles on the RS and she feels like a turd, so I parked the car for a week and went for a spin, felt like a half a turd, Hp is the most addictive drug... never really got bored with my 160 mph drag boat, the first pass will never be forgotten. Maybe buy a Geo as a daily driver, the Evo will be thrilling again....

You guys crack me up. The way this thing rockets through corners at WOT stands what's left of my hair on edge. Sometimes, I can hardly move my arms fast enough to straighten the wheel.
