hey dudes-

i just was going up a steep hill (i frequent them around here) in 1st gear.....felt like it was in 8th gear. barely made it to the top.......then it was 100% fine. no slipping clutch or anything. struggled at about a max of 700 rpm with it being fully floored. so odd.......

anyone been there?

 

Well the s doesnt make a lot of power at that low of an rpm, what were you expecting?

 

im serious......i take the hill almost daily. a powerWheels would have made it up better

 

i can floor it up the hill and get it to any speed i want. the car was fcked temporarily.

 

Oh, hm, weird

 

totally.......it was @ the point that in 1 more inch i wouldve been forced to drift it back down the hill......weak

 

fuel starvation perhaps?

 

r u suggesting lack of fuel pick with the steep angle of the tank? it's full and i beat the shit out of it autoX'ing with way less fuel. never happened

 

dude your expecting a car with NO torque to go up a steep hill at 700 RPM?! I cant tell if your being serious..

 

perhaps u read it improperly jay ^...........i would re-read. my POS beater makes it up the hill in 2nd gear. AS DOES MY S2000 DAILY. no thang man........im goin with fuel starvation due to the extreme angle, whether it had happened before or not. no other explanation i can logically assume with the power being equivalent to that of a vibrator at the time. thanx tho
