Default Why did mitsubishi decide to make my car sooo underpowered

After a while it feels like the car just becomes so slow in acceleration. Drove my friend today and thought my car would at least be somewhat fast but lol the car just feels real slow. I mean flooring the gas to hit redline, you can't even tell your flooring it lol, it just sounds cool that the engine can rev that high. Wow do i miss my dads M5

well what do you expect, you have an rs. its a 2.0 L non turbo engine with barely enough HP to make it move. if you wanted performance, you shoulda bought a gst/gsx
