I just bought a EF V8 and it doesnt seem to have the power it should..
when u press on the accelerator its hard to push in and then it clicks past something and then starts going, as if it is ctaching on something..thats not all tho, when i floor it, it does nothing until about 60, when i take my foot off until its almost out when i can feel difference in the feel of the accelerator it starts taking off but not as much as it should..
Can anyone please tell me wot they think is goin on????
