I have to agree with you. I don't feel anything at WOT anymore. LOL I guess it's time for you to send me your car..

Believe it or not, I ask my friends all the time if my fast show feels right. You just get used to it. Then when I get in a civic or something, I have to floor it everywhere and it still doesn't feel right.

How do you think I feel jumping to a 120hp 80's bmw as my daily driver? I have to floor it constantly in order just to keep from falling asleep.

if you want a fairly accurate test of it (or at least 70-75 mph to about 90-95 mph), go to the drags. The MTX SHO basically runs the last 1/8th in 3rd gear. You are basically snatching 3rd right at the 1/8 in a stock/mostly stock car. Good way to measure time to distance, and time to speed during the last 1/8th.

Good rule of thumb, a MTX SHO will pick up about 20 mph in the last 1/8th and should do it in about 5 secs flat, give or take a few tenths.
