When i go to accelerate past somebody on the freeway i fell like i have to smash the peddle into the floor to get it to move. Also I have never been able to spin my tires at all while stopped with it in drive. Is that normal too?




Never driven a Focus, but I would guess they weigh less than a contour, which could make a nice difference in acceleration.


Regarding the "spinning" wheels part, do u have a ATX ?? If not, then it is a problem of interface control between the highly techonolical equipment and the signals being send. That should be easy to fix: UPGRADE THE DRIVER !!


And don't keep doing that, you could screw up ur engine mounts !!


[Talking about burning tires, I love to do that on my Protege, I get some rubber out of it even on 3rd gear.. he he he the fact that I have 13" wheel on it help somehow]
