A little sluggish

[Car Lover]

I Last drove a 1996 RT/10 6years ago and now own a 1995 RT/10(for about a month now). I've heard people say that in first gear if you roll the throttle on the car will break loose....I seem to remember that with the 1996. If mine doesn't do that is it tune-up time? Is this because the computers/fuel injection are different between the to years? My car has 12,000 miles completely stock, I think original plugs.
Thanks Dave

Stock tires with 12K on them or new? That will change things a great deal...

My 2002 GTS won't break the rears loose from a roll - the new Pilots just hook and launch ya.

Add 10K miles to them and I'd be surprised if I didn't get some slippage...

They are the original tires!!

Disconnect the Batt. , put in new plugs and MSD wires , reconnect Batt. and drive for an hour!

does disconecting the Batt. reset the computer??

In my car with cats, exhaust, and VEC1 at 7K miles on a perfect road on a nice day, the tires grab for traction -(start breaking loose)- in the upper end of a roll-on in first, and break loose shifting to second, third, and even pulled off forth once... If its colder, night time, bumpy road, concrete, or poor pavement mixture... forget it, back end breaks loose and swings around.

 

[Car Lover]

why MSD wires...does Dodge make the same quality plug wires?? Do K&N's make a lot of difference??

Yours being a GTS (higher HP)does that compare with my car in this instance?

Car Lover- I suspect it would, as the stock performance compared to now isnt "insane", it just does the above easier. 50 HP on my car Vs. the earlier models peakier torque curve makes them about equal I suspect.

415 HP for '96 RT/10s.
