I continue read posts that say their engine feels stronger after about 7,500 Miles. Is this true? I'm only at 750...and will stay there until the F****** snow goes away.

Oh that's right, I'll just go skiing and forget about my poor stook garagedness.

Yes it is, the car will feel MUCH stronger around 3000 Miles. And will not get to full power all th way untill 7-8k miles.

This is quite true - going from my 7600 mile 00 to my 700 mile 01 - I can definitely feel the difference.

Yes it definitely becomes stronger with the miles, especially after 3000-4000 miles on the odo. The VTEC kick becomes more pronounced

My car is at 6000 miles and it is definitely pulling stronger...may be it is colder air in the winter.
Regardless, my 5th gear can easier/sooner hit the redline at 140mph.
