More miles = more power?

[cbrcrx]

I think the more miles my car has the more power it has. I know at some point it will reverse. I had a bike that made more power on the dyno when it had 50k than it did at 3k. So, I know it is possible. I guess it's all in how you maintain it. My car has 165k now and runs great! It used to feel slower than a Civic, now it feels like it might actually give it a run for it's money.

wow, are you kidding me lol.

I think its true that a new car will need some time to be at his full potential but now, at 165k im not sure its possible.

Mine has always felt slow. I think a metro could outrun my car.

Mine has 218K and pulls great, much better than it was when it was new...loose motors have less drag, therefore less parasitic hp loss. I've been thinking about dynoing it with the high milage
