Default My Audi A4 99 accelerates slow

Audi A4, 1999 2.8

Surprisingly, when the speed is below 20, it accelerates very slowly especially when starts.
However,after 20, it acceleratesquickly.

Why?

lol are you being serious??? idk whether to answer this question seriously or not...

how old are you?? is this your first car?? LOL, most cars dont have too much power before 20mph, lol, especially a 1999 audi 2.8, there family cars, not speed demons. The torque curve becomes a little more powerful as the RPM's rise? Do you know what RPM's are??

Are you a female??

well~~~~~~
Yes. I would say its my first car~~
However, it is the question of many of my friends, most of them have their cars more than 3 years.
They told me, compared with their car, for example, Ford Taurus, my car shows less power below 20.

That is the reason.

Well is it an automatic or a manual ? Why do you have an Audi for a first car ? You need a nice beater or learning car first then go from there.

It is automatic transmission. Also can manually select a shift program.

I get it because I get it in an auction. I just want to try but nobody compete with me and it suddenly belongs to me.
I really do not know much more about car. That why I always have lots of questions this time.
