I have 118,xxx miles, and my car runs a lot harder than a Civic Si (new or not) and a Fusion.

You NEED to change the spark plugs my friend. Have you changed your air filter recently? How did you launch? Even an off-idle launch should still not result in a loss against an Si.

Get a spacer, change those plugs/air filter, and try again. I'm sure you'll feel a difference.

VDC on (but no slip)..
my car runs fine..
changed the spark plug, throttle body, air filter, this weekend.. they were pretty clean..

all runs were from a roll.. but my car supposedly should have "killed" these cars, so i wasn't too worried about VDC or stand-still, etc...
