NEED MORE POWER.....

no it doesn't need more power, you just need to get into it more.

When my sister drives my car for more then a day, it drives like ****, the gas pedal is not responsive at all, the shifts are a joke, so i take it out..beat the car like the dirty ***** she is and it's all good again in about 15 minutes.

These cars ADAPT to a persons driving habits/style, if you drive like a grandma, the car will respond like a 1983 buick

I know what you are saying. I commute 65 miles on it daily and 80% of the time its cruise control at 70mph on C mode. But last night I was in the mood and had a mini cooper on my a** so I put it on S+ and let it rip. Looked at the speedo I was doing 140 and the mini was nowhere to be seen.

Same here, just had a Wavetrac installed and you'll notice the difference right away.

Both, as soon as you get on the gas it is a very noticeable change. Way less tire spin and power is able to be put down easier.

Open / not having one at all. Though I have heard some say that aftermarket LSD's are a bit better than factory ones, but no hard data for that one.
