my Z is NOT as fast as she usta be?
i honestly feel as though my Z is just not as fast as it usta be... i get routine oil changes. do everything by the book. and it just feels maybe 20hp slower then avrage. i have felt this way for awhile now but i thought i was just tripping and wasnt sure what to think... i have no CEL... nothing seems to be the reason it just seems slower... only engine mod i have is the K&N Typhoon... it just seems slower in general... any ideas would be awesome. when my ride gets out the impound i would love someone else on here with a pretty much "stock Z" to drive my car and give me your opinion to tell me if you notice the same power loss as i do...if that is possible that would be great. i just feel like there is some power loss somewhere and i cant pin point it. i drive a 05 Base with less then 16k. this car is still a baby. i should not feel this kind of power loss and i think i should solve what ever this is before i go FI. 
thanks in advance for any thoughts.

I left to Canada for work about a month and drove rentals.....When I came back and drove my Z I got that feeling when I first got her (chillz)
I guess I was just getting use to the power. Driven about 30K miles on my Z and loving every second. Only mod....JW Popcharger.

Felt the same with my Viper. Once you get used to the power, it doesn't seem "as fast" as it used to be...

lol. same with me. when i first got my Z, my friends had civics, accords, rsx, tC, etc etc. and i thought my car was pretty quick then. but they upgraded to 335i g37, m5, etc etc so now my car feels like nothing. lol. i need an upgrade when my lease is over.
