Am i ****ED?(loss of power?)

I was racing today, but when i floored my car i did not get any wheel spin. Which means that eather I have lost some power or changed my craptanzas. I did not buy new tires, so i figured something wrong. So i timed myself 0-60. 1st time i got 8.1sec with no wheel spin under flooring second time i got 7.7 with no wheelspin(temp 65F).
WTF?
I have a 2k2 auto and at seems as if it lost some power. Is in it to early for a car with 25k on it to loose power.

Help please!

sounds like the ecu is having a "bad day"

my 2k3 feels a little less "peppy" with the injen cai on it now.
but it really comes unglued at higher rpms now, where as before it felt choked up.

got mods?

dont time yourself using a stopwatch or any other clock. if you want to check to see if something is wrong then run with a another stock 2k2 or 2k3 with the same tranny. there is no way to be accurate with a stopwatch even if it hit the button when you hit the gas and when you hit 60. at 65f you should be able to light up the potenzas, is the ses light on?

NO the ses light is not on. I used to light up my potenzas, now it is hard to do.

Take it to the dealer and have the look at it. It could be one/two of about 15 different things. Your description is WAY TO VAGUE. Especially when you have the ability to use obd-II diagnotics scan tools to monitor sensor performance.

thats right, take it to a dealer, just dont tell them your 0-60 times are bad, or he will send you home for racing.
