My max isn't fast?
I bought a 2001 max about 3 months ago. Its an SE 5-speed, with the 17" and sunroof. Its got 10.5k miles on it, but it doesn't seem as fast as it should. On the highway in third gear i lose ground to a 2000 max auto from 65-90, a speed where my 5-speed should shine. Are there any Service Bulletins I might have missed? Is it possible that the throttle isn't opening all the way?
I am thinking about dynoing the car to make sure its the car and not me. Where are there dyno shops in long island/queens?

yeah but if he ran against a 2000 auto from 65-90 on the same day,time,road and he lost then something is wrong...maybe the 2k was modded
