Where's my torque?

Do you guys ever feel like your cars just...don't have any torque? I feel like my POWERs gone out the window...where's it all gone!??! Maybe it's just me...err maybe I've just gotten so used to the way the car feels/handles/takes off; but seriously...my car's slower than other TLs (whoever that was on I-5 north-thursday around 9:45 am)...

what's going on...i'm not that fat...and the subs in the back weight like what...50 lbs?!

eric

performance wise hm...H&R Coilovers, Fujita CAI, Comptech Swaybar, Comptech Exhaust, A-spec kit (aerodyn)

yeah same here, it seems like my car just lost a whole bunch of torque and its potential of the car, i'm going to make a call to acura to schedule an app. to see what's wrong with the car, and make sure that the car is still at it's peak condition cause it seems like it's going down the drain right now haha

I feel you on that!!!!..........I think were just so used to the power of the car that we feel we've lost some??....I mean I have the CAI and the comptech system and yeah I felt the improvements when they were installed but I feel it's not enuff??......Glad to know it's not just me!

lose the subs, they don't help at all

last time i checked shocks/springs and swaybars have nothing to do with your torque or HP

well i just figured they might have to do with handling; aka holding the car down to the floor...

Well I think the last week's 80 degree weather had a little something to do with it. I actually feel like my car is getting faster, but let me not jinx myself.
