I have 18,600 miles on my shoe box now, and I been driving it hard almost every mile (as I drive all my cars hard). It seems that as soon as I hit 18,000 that it feels like it got more bottom end power. Im spinning tire on some bends going 20-25mph and flooring it (in an auto ), and im starting to keep up with more cars on the road (kinda). but i didnt do a thing to it. And, No im not just getting use to it, I got a V8 in the driveway. and most of my cars are V8's or powerful V6's. So why is it scooting? Is this a break-in point? I know that my V8 breakin period is 500-1000 miles.

It's long been broken in. It's getting a bit colder here in PA, it's completely normal for a car to feel a bit peppier in the colder weather.

thats why the "cold" air intake is better for you car then stock air box, or short ram intake.

No, even today when my girlfriend was driving, she replied "what did you do to your car, its faster?" and the temp was about 80 today. and it started to feel this way 2 weeks ago, as i said above "at 18,000 miles and i have 18,600 on it now"

What'd you crash it into? And what kind of damage was there?

i was stopped on the left side of a 2 lane 45mph speed limit road, it was my fault, i pulled out into the left lane .. before i was able to get any speed at all i was t-boned on the passenger side, the guy who t-boned me bounced off me and hit anmother car that was on the right lane... my entire passenger side was hit bad... but atleast the safety rating held up, no one in my car was injured, 5 peeps including me , so now the parts r still on their way from korea

it was amoment of "me being a dumass" it has nothin to do with speed of the car... i was at a dead stop at the side of the road, if u pull out 3 ft in front of a car doing 45 ur gonna get hit, like i did, no matter what u drive... i even told the cops " i pulled out in front of him"
