My car is on crack.

Ok heres the deal...I will be driving, I know my clutch is going we've discussed it in other topics but when i'm driving along and for somereason I need to mash the gas pedal to the floor, when I do this barely anything happens with the shitty K8 motor under 4,000 RPM but as soon as it hits 4,000 RPM I can feel the motor seriously push out the puny horse power it has.

Example : today i went to 7-11 for some sprite , on the way there I was just cruising around 2,500 - 3,000 RPm and I wanted to test my theory out so at 40 MPH ( I was in fifth XD ) I dropped it to third, mashed the gas, RPM shot up, as soon as it hit somewhere around 4,100 RPM My car jerked and hella went fast almost like I spooled up a turbo and unleashed it ( For what it is anyways. ) but any other time under that set RPM , my car behaves like a Escort weird ? It threw my head back a bit and on my G-tech box it showed I hit .37 G-force when I hit 4,000 RPM. Wtf ?

I am pretty sure its the clutch. I had the same problem a while back. Get it fixed before the clutch is completely gone and you have to get it towed to the mechanic...

40 MPH! What was the speed limit on the road you where traveling on to the 7-11?

Did your clutch slip?

duno because I can 0-40 in like 6 seconds just fine. Yes, 0-40 mph lol. not a mistake. Anywho, It' really weird O.o cool with me though

I couldn't give a crap about that K8 , when my DE is done..I am going to throw a rod or something intentionally on the K8 just to motivate me to change motors

My car has that similar problem and its a AT
Isnt it because our cars dont peak ti'll 5500RPMs?

Anyway, I can wait to swap for a KLZE and Manual tranny
