Newbie help......power

Recommended Posts

Hi all, I test drove a Corrado VR6 today and it felt low on power. I checked all the hoses before and after the drive. The engine seemed to rev freely, but it didn't seem to transfer that power to the wheels. It was only after it had warmed up a bit that it seemed to respond but it still felt like it was holding back. I used to have a GTV V6, and currently drive a 2.0 Forester XT and that seemed much quicker.

 

Does this sound right or is something amiss?

Without a forum member driving it themselves it's hard to say . I think they are all different , what I mean is someone else's car would feel different to mine . I was in a standard car a while back , a friend was driving and I have to say it felt slower than mine . Another mate was sat in mine while we were testing some electrical bits , when he put his foot on the pedal he said it revved quicker and more freely than a friends car . But mine is not standard . You should really feel the power at around 4k .

Thanks. I have driven 4 others, the first one was downright awful, the second extremely quick and standard, but I wonder if that was because it was immediately after testing the first one. The other two felt quick but both had very poor steering. This one did feel quick after 4000rpm, but I always thought the power kicked in earlier, like the second one I tried. I'll keep looking.
