Doesn't your dealership have a return policy or something?

That motor is still drum tight, power will improve with more miles, also it is still learning your driving habits. Don't baby it either.

He is right. I swear mine picked up some power after I wound her out a few times. I have ~2k on the clock now and it feels more powerful than the day I bought it. The K&N drop-in filter made a difference too.
