Oh no! The car feels slow....
I drive a WRX03 UK spec but with ECU/decat mods. I've been really enjoying the car for a year now but today albeit 4 up it felt slow. Is it just me but are the cars really noticeably slower with that bit more weight in? This is not a heat soak issue.
OK I can accept 80 plus acceleration would be effected by weight but the change is even noticeable in second.
Anyone care to comment on two questions
1. Does anyone have or know of any stats how weight effects Wrx/Sti performance through the gears?
2. Does the lower gearing of an Sti negate the "power reduction" effect of extra passengers/weight in the car?
