It could be that, clogged cats, a million things....we need to know some more info on the car, and what your feeling, etc.

Heck, it could be your perception of "fast"....everyone has a different view on how "fast" a car is.

But my guess would be the trans....Back in like 2004ish?, the SC4 felt like a rocket .....but these days it feels sooo sluggish with the shifts, and sometimes get stuck on the 1-2 shift(177k+ miles, stock engine/trans).

Sheit, my 5.2L jeep grand cherokee tears it apart(but the jeep does have a k&n which gives it like a 100awhp lol), but it should be the other way around

But give us some more info on the car and what your experiencing so that we can actually help you

I dunno, my two pennies....good luck bro
