my 5th gen vs my 6th gen, st seems faster than gt? Options

[LimitedST]

i own both a 93 5th gen GT and a 97 6th gen llimited edietion st. I know that the 6th gen is a hell of a lot lighter than the 5th gen, but while driving both cars, the 6th gen feels soo much faster. it feels it accelerates incredibly faster. i dont know why. i know its alot lighter, but not THAT much lighter. the 5th gen gt has 135 Horses. my 6thgen st has what.. 100? 35 hp difference, yet the slower one seems so much faster. although the st maxes at 110 on the freeway, and the gt goes over 120+ (speedometer stops at 120 but pin goes way over) so anyone know why it feels faster? is it just in my head?> 6th gen looks alot hotter though!

The GT could have a compression problem. That's what wrong with my gf Monte Carlo. It has the 3.1, and she had a Lumina with the same 3.1 that would kick the crap out of her Monte. It's just because of compression for her.

hmm thanks for the input guys

both cars are bone stock also, also, another thing, my 5thgen doesnt have a rev limiter on it. i let another 5thgen owner drive it and he was amazed that the car didnt stop at 110 but kept goign up and beyond 120. does this mean the previous owner maybe removed it? hmm

anyways thanks guys!
