Default Why is the take off like this

When i push the gas all the way to the floor from a dead stop my car slowly takes off but then it goes like a champ. i could probably beat my car running on foot at take off. why wouldnt it just take off right away?

It's called no torque. Stock Honda engines have it.

^ ding ding ding, we have a wiener.

That, or you have low quality gas and your ignition needs a tune up.

i know my Y7 had less torque than my b20.... so it cant really be that in my case since my Y7 never had this problem

and i didnt mean like it accelerates slow, i mean like when i hit the gas even when rolling it will like hesitate before going but if i dont push full down than it wont hesitate at all its kinda like a sputter sound but not really lol ..

i been thinking my ignition needs tune up but i texted the guy i bought it from and h said plugs are NGK and still pretty new and wires should have plenty of time left on em...
