That ain't my car. As I've posted before, the power doesn't fully ramp up for 1.5-2.0 sec. I saw the same thing when I tried comparing another Aero at the dealer. I just tried a test: cruising at 30+mph at ~3500rpm, I floored it and timed how long it took for the boost gauge to reach the "red" zone. On average, it was 1.3sec. Full power didn't kick in until sometime after that. > In both cars the boost goes to maximum at about 60 mph that > corresponds to about 1900 rpm.

It wouldn't do much for the first 1.5sec, but then the afterburners kick in.

Only the Arc uses the V6.

If this isn't a Bad Thing To Do, I'd love to try it. I wouldn't mind losing top-end power, if it resulted in a quicker and smoother ramp-up. Anybody know how to do this? Gary
