Car Out Of storage and Not as Fast

Hey

I have a 1985 IROC Z Camaro that has been sitting for about a month. The car hasnt been started or driven. It was a nice day out yesterday so I took the car out of the garage for a little cruise and it didnt seem as fast as it was when I put it into storage. Whats goin on here. Does the car need a week of driving to get back into its grove or what happend.

Thanks alo

The fuel is only about 3 - 5 weeks old, and I have been driving a 1997 silverado 1500 for the last 2 months or so... The car is due for a oil change in the next 100kms

I agree with wasp. Mine alway runs better after I wash it, and if I wax it you better watch out!! lol No, but seriously I would get a bottle of fuel injector cleaner or maybe even some octane boost and try that and see what happens.:rockon: :rockon: :rockon: :rockon: :rockon: :rockon: :rockon: :rockon:
