When you get into your car it feels quick because you have been stationary, then when you get in it and give it a boot, after a while you get used to it and it feels slow.An example of this is if you were to take a slower car for a drive around the block, then get back in your car and hammer it. It would feel like it's a rocket. I think it's your mind getting used to the forces your body is subjected to while stickin the farkin boot in...I just don't believe that if your temp gauge doesn't move, your car can feel slower after driving it for a little while...?

I'll admit, when I first start my car, warm it up for a min then drive it, it does feel quicker for a few minutes until everything heats up, but would it really make that much difference that it's that easily noticable?*waits for a tuner to log on*Must be totally different with tuned cars...?
