I think she feels the way she does because she had to drive my truck all week because here SUV was in the shop getting it's ripped headliner replaced. Her right foot got so used to not having to give it that much throttle to accelerate normally that having to give her car more throttle for the same acceleration made her car feel slow. My truck is also 5 Star tuned which is known for giving the truck more low end feel.

She will adjust like it did me back when I had to go from driving my personal truck to my old 5.0L company truck after a week vacation. The 5.0 felt so slow because I was accustomed to going faster with the amount of pressure my foot was applying to the throttle and had to give it more to accelerate normally like I was used to in my EB. It was not that the 5.0 is slow by any means, just a different animal than the EB on when they get their power. It all boils down to that fact that you get custom to certain things and you really notice when it is not how you are used to.

I think she will be fine with her 3.5L after a week of driving it. After all, with a 0-60 in the mid 5s and a 1/8 in the upper 8s, that thing is no slouch. If she does want to trade up then that's fine by me. She makes enough one her own to comfortably afford it and I probably wouldn't mind driving it more.

Decisions, decisions--I test drove them both--now do I go with the EB, or do I go with the 5.0????

Thanks Buck! I am happy to see, that at least one member, found the humor in this photo/post!
