Barring that, take a stopwatch with you the next time you drive it. Measure the 0-60 time. You may be surprised.

Ok
Ok, first of all, IDIOTS, this post is for real. I just bought the corvette, and it is my first corvette, it is an automatic, it's not slipping. I have a lot of experience with sports cars (ex. 25th anniversary trans am, '94firebird, '95 camaro Z28), so to the idiot, who said to get off, he can cram it up his cram hole. Now, seriously, I just bought the vette for $6200 and I just noticed that it was slower than i expected so i wanted advice, and Thank You to those who actually tried to help.

Had you spent your time answering some of our questions rather than proving that you can insult people, you may have actually received some help here. I posted a legitimate set of questions, and you wasted your efforts on postings that an adult would have ignored.
As much as some of the posts that question you may have bothered you, you should let it go, and focus on getting answers to your questions.
Come back with answers, and we can help. Come back acting like a child, and we'll ignore you.
Good Luck,
