Not Happy with Performance

I was very skeptical if I would like the car when I bought it, but I grew to really enjoy it. For a daily driver it has plenty of power, and how often does anyone really use the full power of the engine.

You are right I used him a a daily driver to, and he is good does not spend a lot of gas, nice drive to work every day very good loking car... I just want a little more power is not like I am asking 300whp. Just 220 or 240 maybe just to have them there for when need it.

Sounds more like a case of buyers remorse.

Imo, buying this car and then whining about the horsepower is like buying a mustang and whining about gas mileage, or buying a WRX and whining about how it shouldnt be AWD. This car was not built to beat other cars off the line, or stroke your fragile ego by beating sentras/mustangs/anythings from one light to the other. This car was built to be all around fun. If you care about 'getting your ass beat by a sentra' buy a sentra.

I thought there are a lot of twisty roads in PR to enjoy this car?

They are I have a nice picture will post later of the test I did on some good roads on some place call Guavate.

I am not saying the car is not great it is, just not perpect thats all. It performs perfect on the twist roads of the country side of PR, perfect on the highway as a daily driver, nice savings on the fuel, beatiful car. But It needs a little more power for the times where in the highway a guy in his #*^R# sentra comes and place his bumper on my rear and I cant pull away from it... that is all.

Some people were nice and gime some good advice on how to get the horsepower i crave others were butts and told; me ahhh this car is not for you, you dont know how to drive, is not for a drag racing bla, bla bla. Thats not the point or the advice I need it. Even that I get it with members that have very good advice.

I have a $30k car thats what it cost in PR because of gov taxes... and a punny sentra or mitsubishi piss me off by staing in my rear bumper in the deam higway and I WANT MORE HORSES that all... I dont expect to beat a Genesis a WRX a 370Z just the stupid Sentra, civic, Mirage when I need to is that just to much to ask? No...

Thanks all the ones that give me good advices

I'll be the first to admit to this. I find it difficult to respect people who want to place other people's lives at risk street racing on the highway. I don't want them driving the same car as me bc i don't want to be associated with it, and I don't want to pay for the increase in insurance bc they are crashing it.
I know that feeling of someone trying to taunt you into a race, it happens to me every other time I drive my car. But put your ego aside, let them do their thing and lose interest.
But hey, that's just my opinion.

You see the montains in the back thats were I drive the car.

Beautiful car though!

Sorry if I sounded like a ****, but it just looks like you thought it was a cool looking car that "looked fast" which it does, but was meant for something totally different. Not about grip, not about power. As stated probably a million times, it's to have fun with, take hard corners, slide with. Take those Civic's or Sentra's to those mountains, that's where you'll see why it wasn't set at 300 rwhp.

Not true at all. Have you driven a flashed FRZ/BRZ? Especially on E85? You can absolutely feel the difference. Much more low end torque, torque dip almost non existant, better midrange, and pulles harder up top. Not to mention the smoother idle...
