Power increase after 10,000 km (6200 miles)?
Okay this may sound silly but it seems that my P5 has more power recently. Not sure if I am imagining it or what. There are about 11,000 km (6835 miles) on the car and I find that the pickup is better recently. Anyone else notice this or am I full of it? 
I have a Ractive intake installed since week 1 but even then it seems better even than that.

You're not imagining things. At least I hope not, because I get the same feeling in my new cars. That's the drivetrain breaking-in. For the P5, I didn't notice it until 25000 miles. My fuel economy increased around the same time, so I recieved some validation.

Funny thing about that increase in mileage thing. My friend drives a big a$$ Dodge Ram pickup and he said he got a mileage increase at about 40,000 km and he keeps track as it is a company truck so he can see fuel vs km driven.
By the way, I was parked next to his truck the other day and my P5 sure looked tiny, I was afraid his truck would eat it for breakfast.
