Hi there.

I am posting on behalf of my father since he doesnt know how to use a computer. It seems the acceleration for his XLR-V isnt what it used to be. I think it's a 2008 model. Is 2009 the newest? Doesnt matter really.

Anyway, he is unable to leave rubber anymore, so I did a search for him and found a good suggestion. Take off the stabilization and the performance mode.

That didnt work. Unfortunately the XLR-V specialist at the shop is on vacation for a week and the normal mechanics cant find anything wrong.

But for something that has 425 HP (or more.. sorry guys, computers are my thing, not cars) and not leave rubber, even a laymen like me knows something is wrong.

Any suggestions? Or has anyone experienced this before?

Did you turn off the traction control?

held the button down for a few seconds to make sure the display said it was all off
