You car seems slower because you are getting used to it. I was the same.
When I first got my WRX it was dang quick. But now I am simply used to it.

I have a mate who got an R1 and has the same problem. His R1 now feels
slow, and my WRX feels like a slug to him. My GF is a flight-attendant and
when she first started the G's the plane pulled on take-off felt strong. Now
they feel like nothing as she has been getting used to it over a few months.

Basically your perception of "quick" or "fast" has changed. That rush you get
when you first drive a WRX is an addiction, and like any addiction you need
more and more to satisfy your hunger. Just like a drug addict needs more
drugs, you need more mods to set the bar higher and get that feeling back.

Let the addiction begin. Is there any sort of rehab center for WRX owners ?
