You don't feel the power cos its your car, you drive it regulalrly and to you it just feels normal, them stepping out of lesser powered cars into yours makes them feel it more.

also for me sitting in passenger seat is a lot more scary than driving.
BTW your setup sounds pretty good. A lot of single turbo soarers struggle with either too much lag or traction problems.

Having a luxury aimed car, your seats are softer, the ride is softer, etc etc.
Basically you don't feel the car accelerate.
I get the same in my Cressida.
I take people for a quick spin, and they don't really feel anything, then I get them to watch the speedo when I next take off and their jaws drop.
The needle climbs much much quicker than it feels like it should be.

The relatively massive weight of the soarer also helps to dampen out road feel and the like.
Thats still a damn fast car
