Thread: SLOW****

The same way you make any car go fast. Add performance parts. Next question....

Troll... My minivan does slightly better.

Yea you probably need tune up/major repairs.You should be under 10sec. thats for sure.

oh goodness lawdy you need a tune up real bad. you should be at around 8 seconds with an SE lol
EDIT:
you will always be slow unless you do an engine swap to a 3.8 supercharged.
and even then you will be pretty slow.

Clogged cat.

Next bet.

try checking the catylic converter, problems with cats can cause power loss and 12.9 secounds sounds like a big power loss to me cause it should be in the 8's

ask it...how else?

push it off a cliff.

you can put your car on ramps, and when its cold, hit the cat with your hand, most of the time you will hear stuff ratteling around inside the cat.

another way is take out for a short high way drive. pull over where safe, off the high way, and look under the car to see if the cat is glowing red, you need to do this at night of course.

Well if you're out beating on a broken car...and if it drives fine under light to mild throttle but bogs like crap under full throttle, then that's probably a good sign.
