I bought my X about two months or less ago. I walked into the dealer shopping for an affordable 4X4 for my mother to get from point A to point B and could still handle a washed out road in the highlands of Cape Breaton if it had to. I picked out her truck and looked over and there was my BSP X sitting there begging me to take it for a test drive. They had a BR X runner test truck that they let me take for a spin and I was really impressed with it.
In first just pulling away a little to rough squealed the wheels and when you hit the rev limit you were being pushed back in the seat. I came back signed the papers told the guy I wanted it in black and would be back later to pick it up.
This is my question. My BSP truck seems to have not even half the power that my test drive truck had. If I drop the clutch and hammer down it can barley do a chirp. If I do a rolling start and floor it I can't do a break away. That same pushed back in your seat feeling is not there to the extent it was in the other truck as well. I asked the dealer if their truck has been chipped or modded in anyway and they were able to prove to me it was stock. I asked the dealer how to disable the traction control and LSD so that the wheels could break free and I have the same results.
Why would one truck seem to perform so much better then the other? Also the dealer told me it was because I was just getting used to my truck and it just seemed not as peppy. I was almost willing to belive this when I read a thread on here where one of the members had a bunch of mods IE cold air , headers etc and dyno'd at 197hp. I am wondering if its more then just a jerk that dyno'd his truck and that if maybe there is something going on with both our trucks? Is their anyway of testing it? Anyway of knowing whats going on? Or anyway of being able to compare ours vs other stock trucks before I start sinking money into mods. I love the truck and its still faster then others on the road but I guess I am just worrying
Any advice on how this could be right or wrong would be greatly appreciated thanks for you help!
