How does it react once it drops a gear? Does it feel like it has the proper power? Have you cleaned the MAF sensor?

94blueknight, know exactly what you are talking about.

wahhhhhh.... WAHHHHHHHH

then during capslock, kiss the passed car goodbye. I try not to mash the pedal in to do it itseems to accelerate better by easing it in.

Torque converter releasing, then down shifting, is what it sounds like to me...

Yeah, that sound is awsome! actually Idk if It's really that good for it. Its makin the engine work harder and faster. It's probably ok but its not good to do that very much, i'm guessing. Idk someone will probably prove me wrong some how. I just ease it, i usually don't punch it much. Lol. I agree though, it is fun!

Yeah, i hear ya. I'm gettin about the same. I don't get why It's so bad, my dad has a denali with the 6.2l v8 and it gets about the same as me, he drives it on the highway a lot, but still.
