SVZ ute 190KW feels like 4 cylinder

[Calais VX 5.7]

Hi all
My hubby just bought an SVZ ute 190KW but it doesn't feel like it's got that power. When taking of it goes like a 4 cylinder car revs up but speed just not there. Not sure what could be a problem so if anyone has any suggestions please share.
Thanks

Get the fault codes read and go from there.

Thanks wraith
but there are no codes the car doesn't "think" anything is wrong it's only that a person driving the car feels like there is something wrong somewhere but can't determine what. It feels sluggish considering there's a 190KW engine under the hood; where is the torque???
Cheers mate

It's only a 6 and tuned for economy. It's not going to be a rocket ship. If you have just bought it maybe give it a big birthday and do a decent service on it with good oils and go from there.

Thanks maybe you're right i guess after driving a V8 you just expect too much from a 6.
Keep you posted

They only get up and go over 4000 RPM

Wow that's bad sh...

They're only 3.6 litres, and in a big heavy car they're nothing special. Not very torquey engines.

Many newer 4 cylinders would go much better than a commodore with an alloytec.

Thanks i wish i asked about it before buying one. But still i don't understand it's 190kw should have a punch
