I just did recall service and the car feels faster

Im a newbie to the auto section.


story= I bought a used rx8 in white 20k miles. And I found out that none of the recalls were done. I went to mazda and they actually kept the car for 2 days. I had a mazdaspeed 6 (really fast loaner car) I went back to get my car and when driving home it seemed like my car was faster. Is this possible the service guy told me that 4 ecu flashes had to be done and something that had to do with the gas tank and electrical. Is my mind playing tricks or am I really feeling faster?

could be.
some people have reported feelings faster after being flashed, since your ecu basically has to relearn how you drive etc.
personally, i'm not sure how much of a difference that could actually make. but hey, if you feel faster, all the power to you :]

Ecu reset cleared all the "bad habits" out of the computer.
