I own a 2001 Expedition that I drive in the winter, sometimes during rain, and of course when I have to haul anything bigger than a bag of M&Ms. It's like stepping off the bridge of an Aircraft Carrier and strapping into a Cigarette boat.

Well I am addicted to power badly, my car is headed to the shop in a few minutes for the turbo install. I cant wait to feal the new power so I can have my fix. Hopefully it will be enough, at least for awhile.

Well, my every-day car is a Dodge Caliber SE - the smallest 4-banger made with the least HP.

My Mustang-GT is my fun car and I usually only drive it on the weekends - so the fun factor is definitely still there.

It's in the garage on life-support (Battery-Tender) for the winter now, so come spring ...............

YES! I have a 4 cyl work truck, and every time I hop in my 'stang to drive home I love to open her up and feel what a REAL car can do.
I think that's what's kept my appatite for power sated for the time being.

my last car i had (rsx type s) caused me to develop this problem. never fast enough. so, after tearing the whole engine apart, re-building it, supercharging it, etc., it was the fastest s/c rsx-s in almost all of illinois. too bad it still felt slow to me, so i sold it. great decision as i kept dumping more and more $$$ into it and it was damn fast but very unreliable.

then i bought this car thinking my need for speed would be satiated. nope. still managing to stay stock, but i feel slow as hell. i have to keep reminding myself the car is fast. of course once the warranty is up and i s/c this beast, who knows...800whp is probably in my future. by then i'll be running sub-10 second 1/4's and will still feel slow. point is, it's never enough...

best idea, don't start modding. once you start, you can't stop, and before you know it, you have a 9 second unstreetable, unreliable, race car.

You get a tax RETURN??? Crap, man...the IRS pulls up in a Hummer and beats me with a lead pipe each year by ritual. I'm probably gonna have to sell my soul again...been three times already...

Anywho, it's easy to get used to the power, but fortunately I live in an area with a lot of traffic, so I get about 60% slowness with the rest open roads. So after a gruelling week at the office with traffic, I'm ready to open it up on the roads that weekend. It helps.

I suffer from this same problem a lot, but this is how I easily fix it. Just drive for a day like you would any other car and don't push anything. Then the next day, Just take off like a bat out of hell from somewhere. It will give you that rush again. By not driving like that all the time, doing iyt every once in a while keeps it fresh. Also just cruisin along at like 45, just drop it down to 2nd for the hell of it and punch it. Gives you the thrill again as well.

of course, the lagging throttle bothers me the most.
