My car accelerates a bit slower than it is supposed to. 0 to 60 takes 10 seconds, but it should be closer to 8. It's not a major problem, but I feel like I'm not getting the most out of my car. The car was originally a rental. It was in a minor accident, sat for a few years, and then was sold and the guy who bought it fixed the damage. The car was used regularly for a year or two until I bought it. There doesn't seem to be anything wrong with it mechanically and there is no check engine light on. The air filter looks fine. I just recently changed the fuel filter too. Do you have any ideas on the best avenues I should look into to increase performance? It can't cost very much because I can't afford much.

we just fix them not work magic and I don't think there are any performance things for these. check your fuel pressure with a gauge should be 52-59 key on only
