Does anyone experience sluggish acceleration with their forte? I have this problem and i can feel it whenever I move off.. It's kinda slow and I always get overtaken by at least 3 cars easily. Is there some prob with my ride?

If ur ride is auto, can consider investing in some light mods.
1) Change ur spark plugs to iridium or silver plugs 2) Use a drop in filter and do up a CAI 3) Use at lease RON 98 petrol 4) Go for ECU quick flash
These will make a difference.

Cannot be that bad.... overtaken by 3 AT rides? Ermmm overtaken by automatic BMW, Mercedes, GTR or 3 x Automatic QQ? Forte is on the heavy side, have to step abit more on gas then control the pedal when on cruise.

I really can't figure out why also.. When they don't seem to be ramming their cars at pick-up..

Yup can, just arrange with me and I will demo it on your ride. It's good especially for those who are Auto gear.
It's a direct voltage to your spark-plug that will boost up almost 2x the normal voltage send to your spark-plug.
Don't have to worry if it will wear-down your spark-plug as long as it is use as normal driving and only accelerate when necessary. I have enjoy it and I do not require other mods so far.
Price is $500+. No worry just try it, and so far I have negative feedback.

Sorry no offence to the mod here, $500 plus I rather you spend on the intake system RISK. There are also other spark optimizer in the market. $250 plus can get already.

hi all, i myself is also using this plug n play device that you plug via your cigarette lighter hole... dunno whats that called. But it definitely lifted up my torque significantly. i tested one week with it, one week without. then one week again with it
the week without it, my car super sluggish. cannot move. but once installed with this device, it really boost the low and mid end torque. You feel the car is more responsive and it picks up speed easily.
the cost is also around 500.

Not sure what is the rational by plugging a device in the cigarette lighter hole can make the car more power. Wow $500.00 for such a device....

base on the seller who sold me this product, the cigarette lighter hole is an electrical unit that is linked to your engine ECU... think of it like a USB plug hole in your laptop. When you plug a device inside, it is read by your CPU and installs the driver for it.
In the case of cars, this device somehow is able to connect to the ECU engine and "reprogram" it for a more torquey feel. the first time when i installed it, it launched my car forward like a rocket as I didn't realised it affected my pickup so much. I tot it was only like my usual sluggish ride but i was so wrong! I had to step on the brakes to avoid hitting objects in front.
Also, here's an interesting thing i found. This device also helped me to save fuel. dun ask me how, but it did.
Without it, my mileage is around 360 per full tank. but with it installed, i can go up to 400-420 per tank.
