Not sure what it is going on but all the sudden my V8 SS2 feels aweful slow?
No mechanical issues what so ever.
Are I am getting used to the speed and power of the car or are I am crazy??

Maybe it could be that fuel issue, trying pulling the 5 and 20 fuze overnight, might help. Your car could simply of knocked down a fuel map.

Could be your power addiction.

A 2010 maybe a fuel filter. How many miles?

Shouldn't be as it self cleans and isn't replaceable. It is part of the fuel pump in the tank. Entire pump has to be swapped out.

It's probably just you. Sometimes mine feels slow sometimes fast. It all depends how the butt dyno is working.

Id do a fuse pull. Ive done it twice on mine when it felt sluggish. Worked both times. Like kjkjr27 said, pull fuse 5 & 20 overnite. If by chance its had anything less then 93 octane in it, run the gas down to E, then pull the fuses. If the gas hasnt changed, just do the pull and dont worry about running the gas down.

Interesting.
The temperatures are perfect right not, lower 80's during the day and upper 50's at night.
I will give the fuse pull a shot.
Car only has 9300 miles on it.
Been using 91 octane, that's all we have in AZ!

Run it down to an 1/8th tank. Fill up with a top tier fuel like Shell then do the fuse pull and see what happens.

Just to clarify we talking about the fuse box inside the vehicle?

I have only been using Chevron since I owned the car.
Shell also only has 91 octane!

I hate to contaminate my fuel.

Wrong on both , what you are feeling is a traditional way to find and justify a reason to move up the food chain ,[ AKA ] ZL1 .

Yep , that's what it is , and no , there is no known cure .

Good luck .
