Its the same with every car. After driving the old f150 for the winter, and then going back to the TL-S, it feels like a race car . Its normal. When I drove the mustang 6 days a week, it felt slow.
Ha. I read the post title as, “Does your wife feel slow....”My Mustang doesn't make any crazy power considered to cars now-a-day; 450whp isnt alot but plenty for the street. Either way I feel like the car does not feel quick even though I know it is. Maybe its the Kenne Bell and the instant tq vs some lesser hp turbo cars I've had where you'd feel the power ramp up, which was more thrilling tbh.

Happens pretty much to everyone. What to experience the opposite effect? Drive your wife's 205hp daily driver for a month. Hell, even a week. Hop into your 450hp car and it will feel like it's got 500+. LOL!
But seriously, it's a natural thing. Your first ride in a 450rwhp Terminator feels the fastest, and then over a short time you start to wonder if somethings up because it doesn't feel as fast. Next thing you know, you're troubleshoots a motor that has zero issues trying to find out where the "issue" is. Psychological most of the time.
When you race karts everything feels slow. It all but eliminated my desire to mod street cars ever again.
^This!Absolutely. Happens to everyone.
Even 900+ whp feels "slow" if you drive it a few days a week for a few months.
Stop driving it for a moth or 2 then get back in and youll have a Holy Shit moment again.
A buddy used to terrorize the 600cc street bikes on one of those.Truth
A 60+ hp 2 stroke death machine that weighs less than 200lbs will ruin everything you once thought was fast and "handled well" lmao.
I need a 100hp superkart to make my 2 stroke feel slow......2020 goals. Those mother ****ers blitz the road courses.Truth

I don't feel my Mustang needs more power for my usage and it doesn't feel slow. When I upgraded the suspension and brakes, it transformed the handling and made it much more enjoyable on the road course.
Sure. This is probably well over $22k in mods.
