Basically rev the motor in neutral and drop it into gear- and yes its really tough on parts.

Ok try this- mix some soap/water and put a puddle under your tires and wet your tires good- then try the powerbrake again. If you have any wheel chocks you can try usin those too, that way you will have to use less brake. If that doesn't work I think you might SOL...

Maybe ill try the soap water thing tomorrow. I swear my car is just underpowered, kid on the other side of the subdivision has a green 97 v6 and he smoked me from a light the other day. And i really got beat by a completely stock 96 firebird and a 98 non supercharged buick reagal getting on the express way, a little 3 way race between friends, it was a really wide speed up ramp thinger.

What do you all think could be causing my car to be underpowered? Or is it just thats the way some are made? Just rolled over 78000 miles, most are highway, fyi.
