Hello all,

I have been lurking on your board for the last couple of weeks and have gained a lot of knowledge. Thank you. I recently purchased an '02 GT Premium package for my wife and had a question about the shift points. Sorry its an automatic. I was curious if there is anything mods that will give the car a more classic acceleration feel? I am used to feeling the car lunge when I step on the gas pedal, but this one feels like it holds back. Also if I can draw from your experiences, The car seems to hesitate when it upshifts. Could this be from the thottle position sensor? Example, If I suddenly press the pedal to about a third of the way, the car immediately responds, but seems to plane slightly before it shifts. Is this the nature of these cars in their stock form? Thanks for any input.
