Quote from JTbo :

There is however situations where it would be nice to have bit more grunt, sometimes when joining to traffic visibility is not best and I could use better acceleration, sometimes there is then lot of traffic and it is hard to find gap enough long for such low performance.

My Saturn has enough grunt for that. I haven't needed to go WOT while merging onto a highway before. I have just for fun, but not because I absolutely had to. 0-60 in 8.5 seconds is good enough for me.

My car, when it was NEW did 0-60 in 8.9 seconds. With 200,000 miles I doubt that's faster than 11 or 12...

...and since I can't go anywhere near the max power, that means it's closer to 20 seconds - which is just plain aggravating to me and EVERYONE behind and around me on the road.
