Why is my car so slow

I mean damn, i floor the throttle at 40 and after my mad torque steer attack and no lift slam into 3rd gear im just not excited, nor happy, nor does it even feel like im moving quick at all. Actually all in all, i feel like first of all a fool to anyone who is watching and like im driving a souped up econobox that is meant to look cool and appeal to 10 year olds.
I used to love my car but now i see the light!

Anyone else feel this way?

If your car is slow, mine must be going backwards.

Maybe its because my car has the big wing and is red. I heard Yellow SS's with the small wing are the shiznit. And i got beat by one before bad.

Can't say I feel that way at all, and I'm just Stage 2 at the moment.
Maybe you need something obnoxious like a RWD V8 with a side of ego.

I think the most mature and logical way to solve this is to make a poll!?

hey man, there are plenty of options now to go stupid fast. you could twincharge, you could go tvs, you could go twinscrew(worthless), you could go straight turbo. Do it and quit complaining.

I have no problems with mine, and I still have more mods to go ex : gmmp sport, Snow meth injection, Header with catless DP. All in all my car has cost me less than 20K, mods and cost of car inc. That is ALOT less than some of these " fast " RWD V8's. And I still get 25-26 mpg around town
