Is it me or.

is my car getting slower? Or am I getting used to the acceleration and speed of the car?
Either way, I made an appointment at the dealer for them to look at the clutch. I hate the loud shifts from 1st to second (clunk,clank!). and it just seems like its not 'pulling' as hard.. we'll see what they say.

Lots of folks say ECU resets help bring back the snap. I've never had an issue, but I've read that here a couple of dozen times.

I do the opposite...I drive a slow car for the day or a rental when I travel and then when I drive my car, it feels like a brand new car again. It gives you a sense of appreciation for your ride.

i know how you feel i've been starting to feel the same way lately, bought my car used with only 5k miles on it and for the past 4k miles ive been testing this cars limits i cant tell whether i have gotten used to the power, or if the car hasnt liked the way i have been treating it, performance mods should help if there is no technical problem.

Speaking for experience the wife has an Odyssey on the weekend I drive it most of the time. I can't stand her driving . But the G seems so fast and so nice it really makes me appreciate it more!
