2011 GMC Yukon XL Denali AWD not that fast

I really like my new Denali AWD, but I am surprised that the 6.2L engine isn't as fast as my Sequoia which only has a 5.7L engine.

Did you not test drive the vehicle before you purchased it?

Conner, you obviously are not married or dating! When a girl gets a hold of a CC, she knows what to do with it!

Lesson learned: Don't play guessing games with JennaBear.

Actually, I've been married for over 6 years now. What I do know it's that a girl with a credit hanging in front of her, just out of arms reach, it's very entertaining. Like a pony with a carrot guiding it, you can get the girl to go anywhere you want. It's really entertaining and helps pass huge chunks of time.

If only it were that simple. I was trying to be entertaining and answer the question like Tony Stark in the first Iron Man movie when he was asked his social security number by Pepper Potts. Looks like I failed.

It is good, but I want it to be better.

Interestingly, the 6.2L is 0.4s faster from 0-60. I guess I don't normally mash the pedal. I think this must be the difference; the pedal response is higher in the Sequoia.

"s modified signal forces the throttle body to open 'more' than the stock signal at a given pedal position. In effect, the idle-to-full-throttle pedal travel is reduced. This makes your car 'feel' more powerful because a given pedal input produces greater throttle opening"

LOL! for 259$ I would advise just mashing the pedal further and getting a tune.

I had one for an e500 merc and it made a huge difference in my perception of the vehicle. It doesn't make the car faster; it just improves the response to the pedal.

Blackbear can adjust the pedal throttle response along with a tune so you get the feeling you'd like.
