Is it just me or does being in the passenger seat make cars feel a lot quicker?!!! Just been on in my mates 10 plate focus st (225bhp) and it felt so fast! Felt like it put my R to shame not only that it felt quicker than my pervious 300 bhp astra vxr.

Yeah kno exactly were you comming from
Driver seat your in control and can decide what happens next literally, & you feel everything.
Passenager seat your literally there for the ride and you can only react.

I think you can gauge power and torque better riding shotgun

Passenger seat always feels faster, especially if it's your own car

It does, same applies to back seat. And strangely, the car feels more 'solid' from those seats!

So weird you said that , hit the nail on the head. Feels 'tighter' if that makes sense .
