Default Going back to the old ride

I used to drive a stick shift neon before my s2000. I've only been driving the S a few weeks. Yesterday was so snowy I worked from home and due to salty roads, I decided to take out the old neon to work. I used to think this car was cool, 5spd, felt almost fast to me as I remember.
But today when I drove it to work... by God the thing is a clunky snail. I had no idea my 2 years of owning it! Haha, after only driving the S for two weeks it feels not that the S is a lot more powerful, but that my neon has somehow gotten weaker! It feels kinda clunky and slow. I think I've spoiled myself

Is the s2000 your second car? (As in, second car youve ever owned, not as in additional car)

Same with my old '87 BMW. Never thought it was fast just decently quick. Especially after I put a chip in it. Still drive it as a DD. Feels really slow now. Even though it's got about 40 more lb-ft of torque.
