    For starters, make sure everything is serviced,plugs,leads, air and fuel filters,oil and oil filter,give the throttle body a good clean.Service the auto trans if its an auto.Just make sure everything is ok.Jack up each wheel and make sure you have no bad wheel bearings or slightly dragging brakes.Its hard to compare it to your mates ones.They all should go similar to each other but even when brand new, some of these cars would have been lemons and and some would have went really good.. It happens with any vehicle you buy.Its just the luck of the draw.

    get a cold air intake, exhuast, good leads/plugs, shift kit if auto, high ratio roller rockers, memcal tune that should do the trick

    only sits on about 2000-2500 when doin 100.

    i tried running premium fuel. made a tiny tiny difference but not much.

    i serviced the oil and filter. new air filter. and plugs. leads and coil packs not too long ago. but it didnt make a difference either.
