Issue or not?
New to me 94Z 24,000. I posted on my test drive I was unsure if the car was really pulling that hard, but was smooth. Thought maybe I didn't have the valet key on. Monday I brought the car home on a trailer since I didn't trust the 22 year old tires. Found out it does have a chip so it is always on. After work and washing it, I ran it up the street with the wife in the pass seat. Once I hit the main road I pulled out in 1st then floored it. It pulled ok and smooth but nothing crazy? No traction issues or asr active light. Hit 2nd at 7500, chirped the tires enough to see the asr active light flash. Then I left off, wife said "that's it?" lol
I did try turning off the power key in 3rd and floored it. Pulled slower as expected. So my question is if you stomp on a stock car in 1st should it spin the tires a bit at least? Been a long time since my GS was stock to remember how it was stock, but before the stroker it was 367RWHP and pulled pretty hard and spun the tires at will and went 11.80's. I figured this car should be a bit squirly on the bottom end with the old tires. I pulled the wheels to get new tires mounted but, I changed the fuel filter (looked original) old one had a little resistance blowing thru. Going to replace the plugs, clean airfilter, all the fluids, brakes rotors ect before I take it out again. The vaccum pump runs for only a few seconds with the key on, if I unhook the line it turns on. So think I have a issue or am I desensitized with all my other high hp cars? Thanks!
