Hey Bro.. hope you didnt take the fun comments as anyone putting you or your Prius down, just having fun...
I have a NORMAL car as well, mainly for driving and doing errands that I need to keep my attention down etc..

I used to live in Malibu, just north of T. Canyon , amazing canyon roads !! be safe and have fun..
(I moved to OC - Crystal Cove in Newport Beach) as I couldn't deal with every time it rained, that PCH in Malibu got shutdown, and if I needed to go to the office or something, I had to drive up and over into the valley and then back around...

 

not at all ....this is a open forum.
its all fun and sharing.

I would be the last person upset about a blog comment.

 

I definitely feel that things get old or boring over time regardless of the HP. Right now I have a '17 Z06 3LZ and '18 Mustang GT and looking to trade both of them in for a C63S.

They are both great cars with their own pros and cons but driving them has lost that special feeling. The wife is against me trading in the Z06 but after only 4k miles for 4 years it isn't getting enough use which to me translates into me not enjoying it so much.

 

"Z06 but after only 4k miles for 4 years"

Mic drop

 

I hear you man, but wanted to make sure... lots of "Sensitive" people these days...

 

Tell me about it lol

 

 

Yeah that dyno graph is absolutely TERRIFYING. i really hope he posted it as a joke because if not that tuner needs to be put down unless the car did blow something. jagged edges are scary to see on a graph, you want as smooth a line as possible for good healthy delivery. my car is stage 2 and on pump gas is 560WHP and 650 WTQ on a dynojet. I just installed the turbos back in with upgraded internals and can't wait to get it back on the dyno. In regards to the topic, i had the same feeling, initially thought how insane the car as then got hungry for more, did stage thena year later stage 2 and not even 6 months later i am on my way to a stage 3 upgrade. I won't lie though when the car had a transmission update done by a dealer it was tuned back to stock and the difference was stark, i forgot how fast it really became after the tunning. i daily a supercharged range rover and the off the line acceleration of that (for the first 100ft lol) is insane and always surprises when i drive it after the AMG, the sensation from an awd supercharged engine wont be beat by the upgraded amg i think

 

 

(for those of you that the Dyno just blew over your head)

Yea that Dyno guy was a real DICK... ..

 

Ohhh my... Ohhh my...

 

Running 600hp for over a year it doesn't impress me anymore 😕😕😕

Missing that feeling when I got the car and it was stock 510hp, the first time I floored it in 2nd and 3rd completely blew my mind.......

Guess we all just get use to it.

I know what you mean. Over the years my car has merely become daily driver and doesn't wow me like it once used to. As BB King said: The thrill is gone

 

Yes that's how it feels...... has this always happened to u with all the performance cars you owned? Wow factor disappears after some time no matter how much power she has?

 

I also wonder if I'm just used to it or is the car itself not as peppy?? I have had it since 2012 and it was a third/weekend car for many years too. I have kept it very well and done all the recommended work at the correct mileage.
I will say it's better IMO, than the cars Benz is cranking out these days....and paid for too

 

Nope! I drive it once a week

Feels new every time

 

You said it was making 495whp maybe it's time to switch tuners because I have yet to put down the power with my ptg tuned car. First and second gear is unusable lol.

 

Will never understand having this car and drive it once a week

 

How many cars do you have?

 

Same here. I'd be getting withdrawals if I don't drive it after 48 hours
