I don't think there's a problem with the motor itself. I will check the compression but I think it's likely a gear, torque converter or tuning issue. The motor is very strong. I guess I just expected too much. I had a 2007 SRT charger and eventually felt it wasn't enough power if that gives some insight. I think my expectations might be too high. I want to be able to roast the tires at will and still have good highway manners. I'm a bit OCD....
