Should this be the case or does this indicate that there is something amiss with my car? BTW he had a KKM but then again so do I. I suspect that my fuel pump is on its way out so could that have played a role? hunter green 96 mystique mtx, sabb side markers deep tints car bra., K & N filter, hyper white low beams, after market fogs, JVC Kameleon head unit, 600 watt amp with 2 10" kicker subs, soon to come new rims New adition 01/11/2002 The original 95SE in Midnight Red all the toys including traction control Fog light mod, lightmoonroof switch from a focus, power antena (still wiring it up) post 98 sail panels, new water pump , Bosch quad plaitnum plugs, and a new Cat.

Once they open however, you'll find the little V6 can more than hold its own. Much like the S2000 Honda, the power doesn't come on until later in the rev range. If you don't pull for the whole 1/4 mile, you'll never advance to the next round. 98 Contour / 99 ZX2 HS

It looks to me like your only performance mod is the KKM, and you've got a pile of stereo equipment too. Lose the subs and open up your exhaust and you should improve.

I was just a little suprised by the experience! hunter green 96 mystique mtx, sabb side markers deep tints car bra., K & N filter, hyper white low beams, after market fogs, JVC Kameleon head unit, 600 watt amp with 2 10" kicker subs, soon to come new rims New adition 01/11/2002 The original 95SE in Midnight Red all the toys including traction control Fog light mod, lightmoonroof switch from a focus, power antena (still wiring it up) post 98 sail panels, new water pump , Bosch quad plaitnum plugs, and a new Cat.
