Default 4000miles and runnin....Z is FAST!

Well, I cant help but laugh at myself when I first drove my Z home and thought " this doesnt feel like almost 300HP". Well I am happy to say that she certainly loosened up very nicely. AT 1200 iles, I knew she felt much faster.
Today, I found myself ripping through the first three gears and giggling like a child as the Z slapped me in the back with every shift. I Love how the tach just drops down with an upshift - unlike my prelude - which would waver due to its low torque engine.

Ah yes, the Z is great. The best part is that BALLSY Growl that the engine makes. I must admit that brand new, it didnt impress me, but now - it is perfect.

I cant believe I'm about to say this, but all I REALLY need in terms of mods is just 25-50HP to the wheels. I'm hoping that with I/H/E and an ECU this will be obtainable. I just would hate to destroy this motors linearity.

Currently I have ~6-700 miles on the car and she is not broken in yet.... But i do look forward to validating the above post
I do hope that my car "gets" more powerful after 1200+miles. From what a lot of people say, this appears to be the case. I also am planning on modifying the Z to keep it NA, but a few more ponies is not only welcome, but its the plan

I'm at 1270 miles right now, The car feels totally different I cant really explain it..Im not sure if its Power but it feels much smoother... And this has nothing to do with taking it above 4k rpm, at even low rpms the car feels MUCH different!

Someone has to find out why exactly the car feels different, because I can tell you It really does..actually much more fun to drive
