    Wait, you have a gtp but its not supercharged? Thats why its slow. Hopefully punching the gas and your car not downshifting as your gaining speed.....? Hopefully that doesn't mean your tranny is going pooh.

    ^^^My GTP has done that before. Usually it's running lean for some reason or another.
