I knew my car was fast when I test drove a Shelby gt500 and thought well this is fast..........but not as fast as my old S2000. It was a diffent kind of fast, it was nice.

So yes your crazy as we all are, I think these car are borderline unsafe too fast. Maybe your next mod should be more air bags

The car has felt slow recently despite the cool weather. I kept thinking that there was a problem but I got to drive a new M3 today and it felt rediculously slow though they run 12's all day long.

So am I crazy or do I really need more power?
Time for a cammed LS1 swap with nitrous, 12 bolt, Performabuilt tranny, and Yank 3600 stall.

Yup your not crazy, everytime I retune and upgrade it's only a matter of time before the fun factor wears off. I think we find it fast until we learn how to control the car with that much power. Then it's time for more!

Yup. We're crazy. I tend to think the same things. The first time someone rides in a fast car, it's incredible. However, if it's your car, the feeling fades over time and eventually you begin to think it's 'slow'.

After spending most of my time this last year driving rental cars, I started to think 4 cylinder Malibu's were somewhat fast. That's when you know it's time to come home and drive a real car. Doing so makes you remember everything you missed and once again think your car is fast.
