its an auto

autos got long gear ratios so their acceleration is slower than manual ones... this could be normal but you gotta ask someone with an auto leggy to compare times just to be sure.

your 1/4 is slow because your in a heavy car with a 4 cylinder in it if your want a fast 1/4 than start thinking about power to weight. take out evrything that isn't needed for drag racing including sterio, seats, carpet, sound deadening crap, head liner, spair, jack, switch with light wheels, and change to a carbon fiber seat.....ect. than maybe youll start getting into the 16s
