SS\SC trouble.

I don't have a clue as to what could possibly be causing this but, for the past 2 weeks my car has been feeling slow. My car is entirely stock and I hardly ever drive it fast. I don't get it because I floor it and the car doesn't seem to be pulling as hard as it should. The car feels like it has a lot of knock and the acceleration isn't as smooth as it was before. Just to give you an example of how slow my car is, I raced a 06 Malibu SS and lost by 4 cars.
Is anyone having the same problem with their car or know what is causing this issue? I wan't to take it to the dealership but I hardly ever have time to do so.

Thats odd, any other noticable differences? find out who has HP Tuners in your area and ask them to log you car so you can find out whats going on.

Are you serious about this?

Malibu SS's are not that fast, maybe your thinking about the Impala SS, which does 0-60 in 5.7 Secs, and the 1/4 mile in the low to mid 14's.

Maybe you were being sarcastic.
