Car feel kinda slow after a while??? I got a fix! I don't know if i'm the only one who has this problem but after modding the car a bunch it felt like it had tons of power but after daily driving it for a while I get kinda used to it and it just don't feel that fast anymore.....
Picked up a beater Integra to use as a DD and to get better fuel milage...
After driving it for several weeks and getting used to no torque and almost no power jumped in the T/A to take her for a spin...
After warming it up through town jump on hwy 9, putt at about 15 to let the car infront of me get waaaaay ahead. As soon as traffic starts catching up to me I hammer it, row through 4th upto about 130.
Felt like a freakin beast again
Moral of the story is if your car just don't feel all that fast anymore drive a gutless econobox around for a month or two then jump back in your LS powered vehicle. It should feel like a monster again.
End of pointless story.

My work rig is a 54,000 GVW GMC 8500 Terex Commander Linetruck. It climbs hills at a whopping 6mph on a good day. Yeah that's right 6 miles per hour. On the freeway it topps out at 63 and if there's ANY incline at all it can slow all the way down to 30ish.
My acura don't feel so slow after rolling around in that thing all day.
