I would like to share with weird experience... I bought ST (European model, 115HP) 4 years ago and was so happy driving that "fast" car (previous experience only with crappy 50ponny jalopy so you can imagine my happiness smile.gif). Than after two years Romas turned my ST to ST-T (176/206HP). And I had feeling like "I can fly" lol. After another year everything went wrong. Not with car... with me smile.gif. That car is "slow" again! I just have... Or better say had wink.gif that feeling all the time. Everything has changed after experinence with stock Euro GT (170HP). One of my friends (just sick of my stupid talking) said: "You think you have slow-ass car? Here... try my GT". I was shocked... my first question was: "Anything broken in your car?... that engine has 'no power'. Acceleration is horrible...". No his car was in perfect shape... It was just in me. I'm sure now. Because few weeks ago I had chance to drive JDM SS-II with beams inside (so instant 200HP car). I had almost the same feeling... that means... that car is "slow". According to my feelings of course... So... I have only two explanations:

a) I'm boost addicted
b) my ST-T has more power than 206HP !?

Or is it just reality only turbocharged engine can give you that real feeling you have "fast" car? Sad to say I have never drove stock GT-four to compare... So I can not say frown.gif

No more replicas... This is evolution... This is SS-four :)
