crazytiger Posted December 20, 2006 Share Posted December 20, 2006 How you get used to speed / accelleration so fast? I swear my car has gotten slower over the three months I have owned it!!! I guess it's time for a little access port action......... but then I will just get used to that too..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

godwhomismike Posted December 20, 2006 Share Posted December 20, 2006 it depends - if you live somewhere where it gets colder - like 45 degrees or less, you'll notice it is a little quicker. Don't know if that is a product of the SPT Intake, the cold air, or a little of both. All I know is that it feels a bit quicker lately that it has gotten colder out.

ShockerGT Posted December 20, 2006 Share Posted December 20, 2006 Three months and finally getting an AP? I waited less than a week after I purchased my GT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh it is definitely quicker on the cold days. It has been very warm and humid here in Alabammer this week (70+ degrees the last few days) and the car has been running like a DOG. Hot weather really sucks with this car. The combination of having to run the power sapping a/c and sucking in a bunch of "less than combustable" warm, moist air into the intake makes for a much less potent LGT.

IwannaSportSedan Posted December 20, 2006 Share Posted December 20, 2006 keep a slow car. Drive it once in a while. realize again how the other 98% lives. Then go back to your Legacy GT, and thank your lucky stars for such seamless control and the power that corrupts!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alaskan_Legacy Posted December 20, 2006 Share Posted December 20, 2006 I've never had a quick car before, so I'm really surprised I got used to it so soon. Got the AP, and it's wearing off now too. So instead I just watch my passenger get thrown back in the seat. Also I drive the wife's Mazda 3 sometimes. Big difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rabydanimal Posted December 20, 2006 Share Posted December 20, 2006 Once most people go StgII that's enough to satiate the butt dino, myself included. For that power I'd recommend getting more suspension bits. I'm dying to get sways and springs on my car. My friends fall on the floor laughing when they see my car launch. http://img253.imageshack.us/img253/2739/dscf0089squatjz5.th.jpg I believe this is automaticSTI's LGT.

GTTuner Posted December 20, 2006 Share Posted December 20, 2006 Just sold my Yamaha YZF R6. Specs; 1/4 mile in 10.99 @ 127mph (personal best, Cycle world got 10.69) 120 rear wheel Hp and a 375 curb weight, dry. Full stainless header and carbon fiber slip-on - (subtract 14 lbs) Jetted Yamaha GTYR cams......add about ten ponies. This was the fasted vehicle I ever owned or drove. Top speed is 167 mph, which can be ottained in less than a half mile! The bike was downright frightening for the first 1000 miles. After putting 12,000 hard miles on it, it felt slow. So I deceided that if 145 mph plus every time I get the chance is boring, it was time to sell it before my wife has to buy a casket. Moral....power corrupts your senses.

johnAWD Posted December 20, 2006 Share Posted December 20, 2006 I understand completely. The last fun car I drove was a big HP import. Funny how one can 'get used to' 650 or so wheel hp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTTuner Posted December 20, 2006 Share Posted December 20, 2006 Last night was a fun for me too..it is finally getting cold around here! That is oneadvantage to a forced induction motor. COLD=POWER. I love when it dips into single digits outside, it's like a 50 shot of nitrous without the bottle. HOWEVER, we do suffer power loss in summer. Hopefully I will have my Alky system before hot weather rolls in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slimjoe Posted December 21, 2006 Share Posted December 21, 2006 Wow, I thought that was just me. I've had the LGT for about a month and I was scared I killed it or something. At first it felt super quick and now it feels normal. It really is startling how quickly you adjust to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
