I definitely drive it like a granny.

Yesterday, I let a friend drive the car for a little bit. Coming from a beater Pontiac Grand Am, she also noticed that the car had trouble "pulling" from a stop. Given that peak torque is at 1250rpm and stay flat from there, I definitely dont see that in 1st or 2nd. In those gears, I can hit 2500 or so and wont feel any "oomph".

The car is going back Wednesday for a separate issue, but I'm having them look at this too. Going to see if I can score a 328 loaner instead of a 320, just for a nice sanity check.
