    Lately now that winter's over and I can play with the GP again I've noticed some performance decrease in my car, just doesnt seem to get up & go like it used to.
    Now today I lost to some ricer in (what looked like, it was debadged) a neon with a fart can!? Wtf??
    Only by about half a car length but still, any ideas on what could be wrong? I know I need an oil change, but only about 10 miles over so that shouldn't really change much.

    Fuel filter...just from your local auto parts store...if you don't have a T-Stat put in a 180* non-drilled...you can get those for like a few bucks at the auto store too...

    Wires...depends...if you want to get stockers they run about 30-40 bucks...but MSD's are about 50-60, ZZP's are 80-90, and PRJ's (best wire IMO) are about 120 for a set...but are 10.4mm WIRES

    Might try pulling of the coil packs and cleaning those too

    AutoLite was a great product...until they started getting made elsewhere. Now they suck.
