acceleration

Post by marius »

Does the acceleration on an automatic MX-3 suck that much or is just my car (94 GS)? I had trouble passing a Toyota Echo off the line. It reved up to 6000rpms(like molasses) before it kicked into 2nd.

Three things that slow our car down alot:
Air conditioning turned on,
Custom air intake sucking hot engine compartment air and an automatic.
