Any ideas on what's the problem?

hard to say. 1st gear is notoriously tall on atx's...which could be part of the problem.

try power-braking it (not too much, though...you don't have a tranny cooler) & see if it takes off quicker.

are you accelerating on econ or pwr? did you turn O/D off?

of course...maybe it's just you. maybe you're used to 600hp on tap...and an n/a 3/s (while a great car in its own right) is just NOT something you're going to be satisfied with.

it's REALLY, REALLY difficult to say without driving it myself. if there IS something wrong...it could be anything from your 1st gear to your torque converter to your ecu.

could be bad spark plugs, bad wires, bad IAC, the list goes on and on. VERY difficult for me to diagnose like this.

might want to run it by a shop and have them test-drive it. but report back here BEFORE you pay for any work to be done. we're a great b.s. deflector.
