Every once in a while I will romp on the gas in my '01 V6 and be mashed into the back of my seat instantly by the power it puts out, usually saying to myself "holy crap, where did that come from!?" It was absolutely amazing last night merging onto I-84 in Hartford. I thought someone attached a rocket to my bumper. More often than not though I mash the gas and have to wait for it to reach about 4k rpm before it seems to take off anemically. Isn't all the power supposed to be in the low RPMs? It seems like I am missing some boost almost. Everything seems fine otherwise. It runs smooth-ish, and there aren't any CEL's. Any ideas? Could the turbo bypass valve be a factor? It's original with 180k miles on it. I test drove a bone-stock 2001 LPT-4 and it was quicker than my car is most of the time. What gives?
