Default New owner question

I just purchase an '04 coupe. I've been wanting one for quite some time. I couldn't be happier with the car! I was just wondering, it seems as though when I let off the gas, the car slows down more than what would seem normal. Almost like the parking brake feels slightly engaged. Is this something with the traction control? My tire gauge is lit, but all the tires seems properly inflated. Any comments would be greatly appreciated! Thanks.

I have had mine a month now and I thought the same thing. I am used to the car now and don't notice it anymore.

runt72 -
Does your car have the original wheels on it (re: TPMS issue)?

Congrats on your purchase and welcome to the forum.

Thanks for the welcome everyone! Yes, they are the original wheels. I read the tmps thread, I'll monitor the situation. Also, I'm planning on driving through a Michigan winter. I drove rear-wheel vehicles through the late 80's and early 90's with no big problems. I just love this car!

Hey RPM, I just noticed that you're from Michigan! I live in the Kalamazoo area. Do you drive yours in the winter months?

No. It is our summer/nice day car/toy.
Be sure to check out the threads for 'Michigan GTG' and 'Woodward 2008.'
You'll have to join us for a good ol' Crossfire get together.
