Default 1993 SC300 slow acceleration

i'm wondering why my Auto SC has slow acceleration when i'm flooring it, and it's like if i'm not. It doesn't feel like it's pulling, i can't even burn out /:

In stock form sc's aren't impressive performers. Also it takes them a while to make peak power

The only thing you can really do is make sure you have all the maintenance up to date and the engine is running at its best. Besides that, you can do some power mods, or boost/swap. I just got a 95 Sc300 and its a decent performer, but the first thing I want to get done before speed is the suspension. It's sitting on supra lowering springs and blown shocks right now. It rides like ****, and it's a tad too low for Miami.

It's a 16'ft, 4k lbs luxury vehicle. It's not going to be quick in stock form. I've never even chirped a tire in my car.
