am i trippin or is my car acting slower?!
i just got my car an oil change at the dealership, and before as i was driving it felt heavy and slow.
but now since i got it, it feels like its super slower now and now it jerks.
has it happend with you guys?
the dealership said i needed to come in for my 10k tune up or something but i didnt wanna take it and stuff.
any tips guys?

i havent gotten my oil changed yet (running around 4,500 on same oil) and i just did a burnout and chirpped 2nd with 2 other people in the car.
man i love a manual car.
Note: Showing off for your friends is not "cool". I in no way am encouraging you guys to do burnouts. xD

2ISX50 and 2IS300 (Middle East) make you feel fast when you drive it, but it's not! I don't know about 350, but I think it would be really fast car cause it has 306HP. You won't feel it unless you turn ON the POWER ETC and disable the traction control!

You're right about turning TRAC off though.
And to original poster- at 10k miles there's no tune up, they shouldn't be doing anything but an oil change at that mileage unless they're just trying to jack you for some extra $.
There's nothing resembling a traditional tuneup before 60,000 miles (change of spark plugs)

disconnnect the battery for a minute then re-attach it. this will clear the ecu. now after doing this it may still feel slow, but push the car and drive it like you stole it and give it a day or two depending how much u drive. the ecu will learn you driving habit.
the dealership could have disconnected the battery while doing your oil change, and if thats the case do as i already said, drive it like you stole it.
