It only feels underpowered until a pair of quicker hands gets behind your car at the local autocross or track and goes a full second faster than you...in your own car...

I was just reading the Boxster Spyder vs Cayman S comparo in Excellence.
Very interesting. The Boxster Spyder despite no PDK was instanly quicker than the CaymanS.

Which got me thinking...the only time you think your car is underpowered is when you are just driving in straight lines...kind of a one dimensional way to look at it.

p.s.
I just had a new IMS (upgraded) and clutch/flywheel installed. That's one way to put down the power!
