I had a 87 ST, and that was a fast, zippy car. I had to sell it and now i bouht an 95 ST. I assumed it would be faster or at least the same speed. However it is slow, a 87 is much faster in accelaration. Do I have a probelm with the engine? Or is this just the speed of the 6th gen STs??

I know that my ST was slow. I ran a 17.7 at the track, but that was with low compression due to fried piston rings I believe, and with a clutch and synchros that were in poor shape.
