I'm a bit disappointed in my Nitro SLT 3.7. Yea I know "what do you expect from a 3.7" but i was hopping that it would pick up some more speed when I step on the pedal.

So this morning I'm driving to work and I was trying to merge over to the right lane. I look over my shoulder and theres a car there. so i gun it and the Nitro started roaring like a beast, All bark and no goddamn bite. It didn't go any faster than what it was already doing.

what kinda crap is this. well anyone else experience this? :mad:

shoulda gotta stick instead of auto, obviously if your Nitro is revving up hard, but not picking up speed, the engine is producing power, its just not getting trasferred to the wheels, which means your getting a tonne of slippage. My 6spd picks up speed pretty decently for a 3.7l V6, and I don't get any hard revving unless I'm stepping on the gas in neutral. Have your tranny looked at.
