Just do what I did... slowly over 3 years mod it up - all the bolt-ons, cams, tuning, etc. Then, suddenly return it all to stock to sell it. Then it will feel REALLY slow

The reverse is also true. Drive around in a Prius or something for a week, then get back in the Evo and it will feel very quick, fast, and tight! Also, like people are saying, mod it up a bit ---- but that's a slippery slope!

Stock evo doesn't really pull hard to begin with.

Just drive it like a granny on a daily basis and floor it once in awhile. Makes you scream with joy. Either that or just keep adding parts although my budget doesn't have room for that. Could always throw a budget out the window though.

You're getting used to it. Be prepared to watch your bank account drain.. You're about to start modding and once you start... you never stop.

you should go test drive another evo and see if it feels the same as yours.. i agree with most people on here though that you are just getting used to it.. when i first got my car i thought it was so fast then two weeks later all i wanted was more power cause i thought my car was ******* it
