Wrong, ya big ape. The Pious moves right along if driven properly. Despite hetero tendencies I have driven one, and with a little planning, it easily out-accelerates a Mercedes 190 D, a 48 Dodge Power Wagon, and makes mincemeat of Farmall Super Cs, even if they have the road gear.
How the hell fast do you want to go, anyway?
There are times my Accord creeps up to 125 but when that bone Pontiac lets me around I am good to go. :^)
I want to accelerate up to highway speeds (65-75 mph) quick enough to do so in 200-300 feet... which, coincidently, is the average length of the on-off merge ramps around here.
