also like the others said...u might just be used to it by now....go drive a non turbo 4 cylinder and you will be like....man this car has no power!...lol........i even drove my brothers 350z and was disappointed at the power....lol....300 hp doesn't go as far as it used to with cars being heavier nowadays....i remember my bro's 1984 300zx....it probably had less than 240hp but it seemed like it was almost as fast as my evo....cuz it was so light

I think I'm experiencing the same thing. I took it to a couple places and the mechanics didnt noticed either. Its frustrating cause I know something is wrong ,it didn't felt like this last week. The car is stock, so im gonna take it to the dealer after i finish this tank of gas . just to make sure it wasn't f/ a bad tank of gas.

you get used to the power trust me. once you put a good mod on you will notice it and then months later it will feel slow again. just cause you are used to the power. kinda like getting a tolerance for alcohol. just for speed in this case. i noticed the same thing also.

dont get me wrong though im not saying that there could be nothing wrong mechanically with the car. just my 2 cents

I keep thinking my car is getting slower too but when I look back at traffic I realize that I am just used to the the power and I want more and more.

Good ideas but there is something wrong in this case.

I can sense the lack of .. power when i step on the gas and wait for the turbo to kick in.. i would accept some change but not when i feel it now, compared to what it use to do.

I am going to have them look at the turbo and the boost, and with my luck, (as well as what can be accepted) you know it wont be covered by the warrienty.

Yep.. clutch.
cost a small bank to replace. Now that i have a new one, i can see the change in where it was to what it is now. Before, 5-6 in. before it would engage to almost 2-3 in.
Will have to grab a better clutch so when it goes out again, i will have one ready. And maybe not take it back to the dealership.. ow.

thanks for all the input! i appreciate it..

now..any good not to expensive clutchs i should look at??
