sluggish ga

[PontiacGT]

well I was just fooling around the other day and It took my car roughly 12 seconds to get to 60 mph. that scares me. That's very slow. granted, I didn't floor it off the start, I half throttled it to make sure I got grip then I floored it. I just think that this is too high for my car.....

Here's the video:
um....sorta slow (http://www.d.umn.edu/~lepr0003/Extreme%20016.MOV)

also, after the first 20 seconds or so, the terrain becomes hilly, so accel. is slow at parts, then fast at others. watch around 90......total snail and all of a sudden it just goes a lot faster.

but anyhow, what do you think about the 0-60 time? plugs are new and so are wires, but still stock airbox. Is this really bad?

You don't exactly had a 455 under the hood, you know....

These cars aren't really that fast. They're fairly quick for what they are, but they're not what I would "fast".

Looks like our 3100 on a bad day, which is alot. Here is video i did of it. Maybe if the engine was warmer it would have did better. But as long as it pins me to the seat i'm happy :)

In both take off(s) I had the gas to the floor.


p.s.
Why is your SES light and battery light on?

[PontiacGT]

Well, it's my ETS and Check Engine lights. My ETS light is on saying that it's disengaged, and my engine light is on because of a bad 02 sensor on my exhaust that I didn't replace yet.

I went out tonight, warmed up the car for about half an hour driving slowly, and it was much better for me. Nice cool air and even though the roads were wet it picked up fast. Maybe tomorrow night I'll go out and make a new video if I'm bored.

another thing you need to step into it quicker :) I know you worry about wheel spin but once our malibu is at 15 I got the petal on the floor. I see you did not do it till 20.
