yeah, that little Escort really is something else. I'm not sure if it just the gearing or what, but that thing will burn both tires in the dry from a dead stop. And as I did mention, it pulled a Ford Explorer for about 2 miles without complaining too badly. So I suppose it may just be an unusual little car.
Funny thing is, it is absolutely horrid in the snow and ice. I had an 83 Nissan Sentra wagon that could drive circles around many a 4WD in the snow, and it was just front wheel drive.
