Sounds like maybe your transmission is messed up and is taking off in 2nd gear? HAve you tried putting your stick down to first gear at the light and turn off "OD" button and then see if it takes off at 1000 rpm..

lol, if i used my time to studied cars that well most likely never be seen at least consistant in the u.s. then of course i'll know. but i don't. i only know of the one everyone else does. the regular awd vr4/gto etc... never heard of an n/a gto before though.

heya yea i think most if not all gto's which were intended to be sent to other places such as nz australia and mybe even in japan are awd its fun driving it here but hard to find many people on the road with it
