Race 20-60: 02 and 03 6 speed
I had a friend race me in his 2002, 6 speed. No hesitation. Mine is 2003, 6 speed, with a bit hesitation due to throttle-by-wire?. I had my car to the dealer Wednesday, where a technician took it for a test drive to check for hesitation problem. I had put synthetic first and then without much warm up he pushed it to 55 mph in second (Could this cause engine damage?) and said it pulls really strong: no apparent hesitation.
The result of the race: 20-60 in 2nd was a dead heat (twice). So I feel my Max although has the hesitation bit does pull as hard as one without. By the way I love my 03, 6 speed. Glacier white, Titanium, Moonr, mudg and wind deflector

On 2002 + max's the car will not go WOT until the car is fully heated up. So the car is not any quicker on a cold engine, infact it's quite a bit slower.

that's good to know, so even when you push the pedal to the metal, if the engine is cold, it won't go WOT...
that is good for preserving an engine's life...

Yes to all that... but did you guys read the 7 year old posts? It's freaking hilarious.

Inquiring minds want to know what WOT is...
I don't take it above 2500 rpm until my automatic climate control is kicking out warm air...
Do the 2 of u shift the same?
Funny stuff.
