do you have any mods, ie: intake, t/b? just from the info u gave me which isnt much by the way, id say a t/b would help that problem a lil bit, u might also look into an aftermarket filter and lid assembly....u might try explaining a little more in depth

Are you stopped or going from a roll? Is there a certain RPM range that is particularly sluggish? These cars have a bit of a dead spot from about 30 mph to 55 mph but that can be taken care of with some goodies

I bought my '99 TA a few months ago, stock, and it has sensitive throttle response. I love it.

has the throttle response been poor the whole time you have had the car or is just starting...because if you are use to a 406 motor and stepping down to a ls1..that could explain it
