thanks for the responses mbdoc and maki.

I think that I myself is the problem. After driving diesels for so long, I've gotten spoiled by the diesel torque. When I drive the gas car, the torque just isn't there especially on take off. I believe the car is normal.

I now believe that once you drive a diesel, it's hard to go back to gas.
