So I realize this may be a pretty dumb post so bear with me. I recently traded a MZ3 for a MS3. I'm pretty darn happy with the trade but I was wondering if other people had the same "issue" I'm having.
Basically in the MZ3 it was so powerful in the low end I could just let off the clutch and it would propel itself forward with no problem, even hold itself in decent inclines (not talking Everest here, just small hills). With the MS3 I have to actually put a decent amount of gas into it to even get off the line, like if I don't rev it above 1k RPM it's going to stall. My driveway slants upwards coming out of my garage and every morning I can hear the car shudder as I'm trying to ease out of there. Now I have driven nothing but manual cars my entire life (from small 1.3 Mitsubishi to 3.0 Audi engines) so I'm not exactly a novice when it comes to clutch work. I know the MS3 is decently "rough" in the beginning and I'm getting better and better.
However the low end torque before the turbo spools is almost boggling to me, my old MZ3 was a lot stronger that low than this is. I've driven both Saab and Audi turbo cars and they all needed some gas to get going but this feels like it's almost dying if I don't push it to get off the line. I'm constantly on the "dying line" in reverse as well unless I'm really giving some gas.
Am I just being paranoid? Has someone else felt this coming into the MS3 or could there be actually something wrong with my car?
Thanks for any help... kinda wondering.
