So the whole "too slow thing" isn't going over well it seems. Well my point is that I would need to get up to speed a little quicker because here in Northeast Ohio nobody seems to know how to drive and flies no matter where they are. If I were ever in front of someone in a Shove-It accelerating, it would not go over well. I'd be a threat to myself (in a tin can basically) and others around me. I was just curious if there was a better, higher output, more efficient engine on the market. 21.6 seconds in a 1/4 mile with a top speed of 61 miles an hour certainly won't work around these roads. Plus, a 1/4 mile and only achieving 61 miles an hour didn't come with fuel economic-friendly driving habits. So imagine that acceleration.

The newer diesel idea does intrigue me though.
