Accelerating quickly is not necessarily a problem, if it doesn't mean revving, and for light vehicles with relatively large engines it often doesn't.

But, if you feel it too vigorous, it's the best situation to change the gears. It's really a win-win situation

I can't do it, though my mechanic offered to convert Teresa to chain driven - then I could But I really like the belt, it looks cool, so until I don't have availability problems I'll leave it alone
