Was wondering is it normal for a VL 6 n/a auto to be rather sluggish.
Daughter had a calais and that was a slug, now my son has a vl wagon and thats a slug too.
I remember my ole man getting one brand new and it was rather quick.
Motor is good, auto is good, timing is right, and plugs and leads are new.
Is there anything you can do to these motors to make them more responsive without spending big bucks on aftermarket go gear.
Thanx in advance.....

I remember my VL going well when I first got her at 160,000km's. A few years and twice the milage and she has slowed down a bit. I still cranks when you put your foot down but it seems to hit a 'flat spot' around 80-90 km/hr when accelerating. Come to
