whats wrong with my car!

1168 Views 6 Replies 6 Participants Last post by  96EscortLX
i got my car back from the shop yesterday. all they did was replace the coolant hoses and fix a leak in the exhaust and put on a new valve cover gasket. but for some reason, my car is MUCH quieter and EXTREMELY slow. i used to time it at around 10 seconds 0-60. now it takes 13. most of the power change is at low speeds, it seems like the car just won´t pick up like it did before. it also seems slow to respond to slamming the pedal at higher speeds, but there doesn´t seem to be a power loss there. what could be wrong? my dad doesn´t seem to think there´s anything wrong, but i know there is, and i don´t want to take it back to the shop. please help!

Do you still have this car?
Maybe they put the GasHog Sears special muffler
on it. The one that goes "Whoosh!" when you floor it.
And that's on a 68 SS396 Chevelle!
