Sluggish beast
Are C3s all supposed to drive sluggish ?
Mine starts up and sounds great, when I put it into drive gear and start rolling it bellows at low rpms. (sounds nice).. but I feel that it doesn't take off fast enough in the low rpms, usually it strains and I feel the strain when pushing the accelerator down, like if I press it down something will snap... (Is it just in my head ?). Plus the steering feels hard, like I'm trying to turn tires that are not properly filled (know what i mean ?). Tires are nice and rigid though and filled with the right PSIs
Car goes pretty fast once it gets into 3rd gear and so on... (Its an automatic)

Mine was sluggish until I put the headers on....runs like a scalded rabbit outta the hole now....just drive it...hard....if ya break something, it was gonna go eventually anyway...
