OK, I prev. posted that I want to buy an 04 or 05 RC in red or black. Looked at a few this week including an 05 with 18k miles in red last night. Truck looked new inside and out with four new Dunlop tires, stock other than the K&N cone intake. So it starts (my wife btw is with me and all for getting one as a weekend fun truck). Dealer throws me the keys and says have fun. I pull out slowly and once past the dealership I nail it in second gear....ok, what's everyone talking about. My wife looks at me and immediately says "I thought you said this this was fast"...and I have to agree, it's no neon of course but it's certainly not what I expected. My SRT8 GC is much quicker feeling (seat of the paints feel), as was my CTS-V and '04 Saleen. Took it on the highway and nailed it from 60 in third and yes, that was nice, but again not overwhelming. Am I missing something? :dontknow: Had the thing been quick feeling like the one I drove last year it would be in my garage right now. I love the look, in minty fresh shape, mint interior, sold by a dealer (orig seller), all for $22,990 but I think I can get them to 22K even. What to do? Granted the temp was 90 and it was about to rain (thus 100% humidity). Do these things feel sluggish in those conditions? It felt like 75% power. Idle was fine but not Lexus like, but that seems to be normal with these right? Clutch pedal also grabbed ~2" from the top...higher than I like...that normal?
Help please, I still want it but not feeling it 100%.
Thanks,
