Default Car feels less responsive

For some reason the car has been feeling less responsive under throttle. For example, it would usually kick down a gear when i push the pedal around half way in power mode. I don't know if its just me but i've reset the mode back into power but still doesn't feel right. Any suggestions?

Cheers

Either that or give the Computer a reset, Unplug battery for half hour and replug then for next 100KM drive the car the way u like it and it will remember the gear changing and such to your feel..

just a suggestion
