this thread deserves a

Why don't you fix the obvious problems FIRST, then come ask about why your car isn't performing up to par?

u should get shot man. i mean come on ! obviously going from 0 - 40 or 50 isn't going to be the same than going to 70 - 80 in most cases. CHANGE UR ECU and then come back as sum1 already told u , stop being a lazy azz.

Its because of gearing combined with wind resistance. If you have better gearing and more power it will be faster. My y7 barely moves from 50mph up. cuz its slow.
