But my god is this thing slow, i mean, i can floor it, and it has no noticable pickup, its ok, as like i said its a beater, but still its damn slow. I'm still glad i got it, just simple fact is, this car is gul durn slow, but is in really nice condition, and even had a recent tune up<New belts, hoses, tires, and fuel filter, along w/ oil change and a new Battery> all in all im quite happy

I had an 82 citation with a 2.8 V-6 at one time. Bought it for 500 bucks CANADIAN, so that's like 400 american.
I remember the guy said that it was kind of a dog in the guts dept. I took it out for a test spin and it did feel like i was dragging a boat anchor behind the car.
I bought it and put a new set of plugs in it and ignition wires and it was remarkable. It turns out i had a bad plug. That thing could really move believe it or not.
I suggest you try advancing the timing a wee bit if you haven't already. You will be suprised you may get a bit more pep out of it.
