i went from 240's... turbo/nitrous to and r6, then a gsxr, and now i have a turbo ta. my 05 r6 was the fastest, but i definatly wasn't scarred of that. I hope in the near future the ta is faster then the r6 was.

just curious but do you daily drive the car? if so i think that might be the problem. if you dont drive the car as often then the fun might come back and maybe be able to scare you again. my last trans am was 400rwhp and yeah it got boring and i wanted more but i just had to stop since it was killing the pocket book on expenses.

700-800+ to the tires and a 6sp is sorta fun. If you get good traction 1st-4th then you might even get a little leg shake after.

True, I guess there will always be something I want to change. Currently the only thing left original is a few body panels and the internals of the trans. Everything else has been "built" or replaced. I hope that I'll be "done" after I get the trans built. I've spent around 32-35k on it so far and I've done the work myself.

I gradually added HP, however I was shocked by the power gain I got from my procharger the first time I punched it. I wasnt scared just suprised how much and extra 120 hp was....LOL

I have to agree. Stop driving these boring cars for a while and jump in a honda for a couple months and see if that helps.

This is an official disease. Bike wise, I went from an intruder 1400 when I was 15 to a TLR1000, then a hayabusa, and now a turbo 05 R1 shooting for 400hp. My first car was an lt1 trans am M6 ~300hp. That got the ball rolling with the big v8 thing. I had that a year then swapped in an ls1 with a cam~350hp and a few months later sent it up to Ohio to Joel to have a twin turbo system put on 750hp @ 17psi. I sold that last summer and am now building my dream car which will have to be it for me for awhile. 3rd Gen Rx7 with warhawk 427 and f1r blower + rockland 6speed= 2500lbs and 1300hp. Should be pretty insane...
