Default Lack of power in first?

Whenever I do a pull from a dig (0-60), my 93' sc is very sluggish, but if i accelerate from a 40 roll the car seems to be a LOT faster. Any idea what could be causing this lag/lack of power? I'll try to post a video tomorrow if I am able too.

First let me say welcome to the disease.

I hope you have some tuff skin Now to your question.

You drive a 4000# 225hp on its best day automatic the dig is like a moped trying to pull the USS Nimitz. from a stand still.

Great to have another new member!!!!!!

Sorry to bust ur knuts but consider it a hazing

Lol thanks :P And I dont expect too much from a 225hp car that weighs around 3600lbs. But it just doesnt make sense to me that from 40-50+ it feels as if its using its potential but from a stand still feels like civic dx lol. Tomorrow i am changing my filter, sparks, oil, and cleaning my iacv.
