Hey I have a 2000 Sable LS Premium, V6 24 Valve Dual Over Head Cam Automatic.. and I was going up this slight hill, put the pedal to the floor, and hit 7000 rpms.. Now my car doesn't feel as torquey and powerful. Did I really mess something up?


Also hit a cone with a cement base that some dummy left in the middle of the road. Sucker wouldn't pull out. So I got stupid and drove a block with that thing grinding against the pavement under the car til it popped out at the turn in at the gas station. This was all in the same day. Underbody looks normal.


Think one of these things could be the cause for the lack of power? It's a slight, but noticable lack.


Thanks in advance for your opinions.
