  • no power

    i have a 96 gtp and was just wondering if its is normal for them to have no low end touque. The car gets up and goes but i cat even hardly break the tires loose from a stop. Was just wondering if this is normal cause some people have told me the dohc were not designed for low end power. My car runs fine and really goes when it kicks in passing gear, if you think that i should have more low end let me know, im confused?

    I have a 1993 3.4 DOHC Z34, and mine is supposed to have a better low end than the 96's..... and mine (auto, however) just barely has enough to chirp a tire good from a standing start, without powerbraking or turning......

        My friend had a 95 Monte Carlo Z34 and he said it could "lay rubber better than most v8's."

        Have you tried brake torquing (or whatever it's called when you hold the brake and gas before launching)?
