#1... It really quick off the line... well not really quick, but quick enough. I was at a traffic light the other day and the guy in the ice-cream truck next to me was egging me on for a race. He thought he could take me. (Sometimes you're just in the mode). He's creeping up past the line. I roll up to the painted line and just wait for the light. I hear the put put put of his engine waiting as well. I bring up my RPMs to 2k. Light goes green and I see the ice cream truck lurch ahead engine spiting and firing like no tomorrow as all the icream falls in the back of the truck. I jump off the clutch in a hurry and the back tires start spinning. oOps... I forgot, I'm on Kumhos now, they can't handle a 2k rpm clutch drop. I hold the pedal down anyway spinning the tires through the entire intersection as the engine redlines 1st. A quick change to second sends the tires spinning again. I check my mirrors for the ice cream truck... he's really far behind and I see him waving his hand out the window. I roll off the gas and continue on my merry way.
#2 - It cruises well...
I'm getting on the highway (same day) and it's reasonably late in the afternoon... on a pretty desolte highway in Florida (US.27). I'm crusing at a respectible 10 mph over the limit... when behind me I see a Merc Benz coming hard. I mash 5th in an attempt to try and gather some speed before he pulls even. I crawl up to just shy of triple digit speeds when the Merc passes me. I continue to gather speed (kind wish I had the turbo here). I eventually level out over the triple digit speed marker. Crusin' with the Merc Benz. We continue to cruise at super sonic speeds for about 10-15 minutes before I reach my exit. I increase speeds a little to get up next to him. I give him a small honk and a thumbs up before slowing down for my exit.
#1 - My car is quick... real quick (especially against an ice-cream truck).
#2 - My car cruises nicely at subsonic and supersonic speeds with ease.
Gotta love German ///M Power.
