Does anyone know if the 370 has a break in program? This sounds a bit odd but my car seems to have gotten quite a bit faster. Before anyone points out cooler weather, I have noticed the results in warm weather as well. Tire pressures are checked and consistent as well.

When I first bought the car it felt strong but not really "that" strong however, since it hit around 3000 miles the car now really feels and is stronger. 2nd gear will spin the tires in a straight line and from a stop, first gear all the way through most of 2nd if not all of 2nd, it did not do this when I first bought the car. Even if I am at a higher speed when I accelerate hard it jumps up to speed faster than it did when I first bought the car.

I am not complaining, just wondering if Nissan had some sort of break in program in the ECU or if some mapping changed once it hit 3000 miles.

Anyone else notice the difference? I have to say I am pretty impressed, not bad for a stock car!
