Default Is my STi getting slower? :)

Disclaimer: Most of you will consider this video boring. You've been warned.

Unfortunately, I'm still bone stock powerwise. Lately I've been half-heartedly wondering if my STi is getting slower. Recently the town closed off a local road that blocks off this other perfect road, so I couldn't pass up the opportunity to play with my wife's handheld camera, which I taped to my steering column with double-sided tape.

Don't expect an exciting video, it's just two pulls (one in 2nd the other in 1st) up to around 140-150km/h. I just wanted to compare this to an older video of mine.

Does this look normal to you guys or is my car really getting slower?

Hehe good to know. I so can't wait for stage 2 + protune. Just waiting to hear if Cobb's new AP is coming out and if its not out by next spring, just going to grab the old one + Cobb catted TBE. I'm just waiting for my Cusco engine/tranny mounts and have to order some RCE springs and camber plates for next spring. Can't wait!

Sounds like a good plan! You'll love the Cobb catted TBE, sounds great, fitment's great, and doesn't get too much cop attention

(I'll be going with RCE springs in the spring as well )
