anyone else used to the speed already?

[stageup]

when i first got it, it hauled ass everytime you floored it,
but now it feels like a regular car for me (nailbyt)

didn't really notice how fast it is until i drove my wifes
is300 to get gas tonight, gunned that, and it felt
like i was driving a corolla or something.

i have not been able to top 280miles on a tank yet.
i'm flooring it to much haha

need to keep the mod bug away until i pay off my student
loans....getting hard.....

im used to it..
the only thing I still find fun is how it handles.

My last car was a quite a bit faster than this, so this thing already feels like im driving a corolla or something.
hopefully engine management helps me fix that, and helps make it more fun to drive day to day.

Well I bought an 06 GT Mustang just a month or so before my MS3 was set to arrive last year (got tired of waiting) and I still have moments of glee when driving my car. Of course I have 5 months of winter where I don't drive it at all.

What did you drive before that makes an MS3 feel like a corolla?

Ooops... I'm an idiot...

What the OP is saying is that he's used-to the performance. So, the car is still fast and everything, it's just that it no longer blows him away.

Like a roller coaster, the first time you ride it it'll be crazy, after 100 rides it'll get a little old.


I hope this doesn't happen to me... we'll see.

I think he was talking to me..
Saying it felt like a corolla was probably a bit of an exaggeration.
But it was a turbocharged integra gsr.
It pulled extremely hard. I never took it to the track, but being so light and revving up so high, having like a 5000 rpm powerband was extremely nice, and it pulled all the way through.

The ms3 wasnt exactly a downgrade or anything, it's a whole lot nicer, just not as quick.

I became a little numb to the stock power and handling (11,000+ miles). That happens all the time, for example I have a 620hp/650tq '69 Camaro that I feel like I could use more power in!? I just got a bunch of mods on my MS3 though, and although I'm probably not helping with your mod bug situation, it's amazingly fun to drive all over again. (drive)

I have all sorts of different power sitting in the garage, so I never get used to any of them. It just depends on my mood on what I want to drive

 

[Falconx84]

I'm pretty used to it..... so occassionally I flat-shift (once a month) cause it gives me the same feeling I had when I drove it off the lot

I knew I'd get used to it, thats why I've held off so long with any power mods. And when I finally get them, I'm doing them one at a time so it's like driving a new car once every 3-4 months

what i really hate..... when I have people in the car, it feels sooo slow but they're amazed at how quick it is. That also helps me relive the feeling of power vicariously, lol

 

[Betelgeuse]

It's been a year and I've gotten used to it a little but I still love the feel of boost.

My previous car was an MS6 so I was already used to this kind of power. The MS3 has a different power delivery though, so it keeps the car fun for me. My trick is not to floor it too often, that way when you do it feels quick.

 

[jbiird317]

you think its hard to keep off it normally? Try driving to work in your steel toes. I usually drive my truck to work so the boots dont bother me, but when i take my car, man i cant keep from slamming the accelerator
