I recently bought a 2002 GTS with the 4 speed automatic.
Love the car, goes like crazy on the highway but noticed
that when it's cold in particualr or when below 3K RPM
there is very little power. In fact when cold and in "D"
you can even floor it and it will barely move.

Somebody tell me this is NOT normal and I need to have
it checked out. I know it's not a muscle car but the low
end power is worse than the Neon I got rid of.

Any ideas?
Thanks
Mike

the auto gts is the "slowest" from what I've read.
from what has been said. the Auto GTS is slower then a manual GT but i belive auto GT is slowest. Problem is that auto gts is unable to stay and land in lift for very long and with a GT having mroe low end tourque then a GTS the lack of lift time limits it. Also the added weight in a gts is therefore hindering to it if i cant keep in lift.

This is all second hand knowledge so i dont know for sure but just repeating what i have been told

Auto GT takes the auto GT-S off the line, but the GT-S walks it at top end ...

Worst-case scenario, the auto GT-S is EQUAL to the auto GT.
