After a month of ownership.

Why does it seem like I have no real get up and go.
If I nail it in Drive it just seems blah.

My wife's 02 sunfire with a 2.2 ecotec seems faster.

however if I drop it into low or I, you can really feel it pull hard.

Try putting it in comp mode to eliminate traction control as a factor. Make sure your A/C compressor is not running by turning the right climate dial to something other than defog or defrost. High octane top-tier fuel will give you the best performance.

Are you putting the pedal all the way to the firewall?

How much boost are you seeing?

Is it sluggish at all speeds, or is it something where your auto takes too long to downshift when it's already in 4th on the freeway and you want to pass?

Here's hoping it's not caused by an extra 800 lbs of stereo in the back weighing you down and sucking electricity from your ignition in order to annoy everyone within 10 blocks with your bumpin' tunes.

I am certainly not having this issue. As a matter of fact, I might have to see a chiropractor since I keep snapping my neck back into the headrest.

Only time mine is slow is if the windows are down and wind gets in between my girnning face and creats drag

Dunno, mebbe a trip to the dealership with your concerns might come up with something.
