Are you sure you weren't weighed down or something? I have a Grand Am '93, and while it too isn't that fast, it doesn't seem to take 17 seconds to reach 60mph(although I have to admit I've never done a timed test).

i dont think any car is currently that slow. You guys didnt hit the gas, or were in 3rd gear the whole time.

hmm, my '91 GMC Jimmy clocks in at 11-12sec.... Are you running that thing on 1 cylinder? ;)

I wasn't weighed down, I was pressing the gas, and its automatic so I wasn't in 3rd the whole time...in fact it didn't switch till third until about 55 mph. Its just that slow :D

Ha ha. My 87 Accord LX automatic would always kill all the GM 4 cylinders. It would be neck and neck until my car shifted into second, then I would jump ahead. It was pretty much over at that point because my car was strongest in the mid to high range.
