my car feels "slow"
I helped a friend to test drive (and buy) an s2000 today. When test driving the car, I noticed a big difference in the low end power of the car compared to mine. The only power mod this car had was a short ram intake. The engine seemed to be really responsive and explode out of the low end. this made my car seem very sluggish in the low end compared to the s2k I test drove.
I'm pretty familiar with cars in general, and this sounds like a newb question but I gotta ask since I am new to the s2k world. Any suggestions on what could have made such a big difference between my car and my (now) friend's car? My friend's car has a short ram intake, that's it. My car only has a K&N drop-in filter. Could it be something that I need to change, maintenance wise? I was also thinking taht my friend bought a car w/ a final drive, but that would be wishful thinking hehe.
