    Whenever I drive Jenn's e46, I feel like I've gained 100 hps... and torques, too.

    But some serious weight, as well.

    Same thing happened to me when I put a NOS sticker on my ETA.

    My bet is on bushings. I had an issue with one of my trailing arms once and had the exact same experience.

    Do you have a flat tire?

    Was this the first rain in a while? When it hasn't rained for a while all the oil sits in the pores and cracks of asphalt and then when it rains all the oil comes to the surface and the roads get very slick.

    I know I totally gained about 60hp in one day.

    From the rockies to the coastline. High elevation sucks.

    I felt like I had an extra 100hp last week when magically all the humidity left the east coast for 3 days. Now I'm slow again. :(

    Definitely get those tires all in decent shape first.

    Then as others have mentioned, Im thinking bushings.

    And an alignment.

    I would still look at what's causing one of your front tires to go bald, bald front tires in the rain at highway speeds are sketchy as fuck, much more so then bald rears. With bald front tires I couldn't keep my car steady past 50mph in rain. Handled fine in the dry though it was like running slicks lol. Just be careful man I scared myself enough to change mine when I crested a hill at about 75 in the dry to find the whole downhill side to be covered in water only way to keep the car under control was to floor it down the hill to the dry spot at the bottom not fun at all with people in the car not realizing your only going 90 because if you lift you loose it

    Well I gotta drive it the 25 miles home from work, but once home I'll put it up..

    I knew my rear bushing have been bad because I could feel the body move on the cassis in turns but this feels different.
