Whenever I nailed the pedal to the floor in traffic it used to act like it had 40 hp instead of 55, now it seems like 65hp!

Have anyone else found this???

I've seen alot of that on older trucks, Truck tractors, Old passenger cars, Forklifts, Heavy equipment etc.... Hey wait a minute....Your not supposed to be doin that with your Metro. LOL....ECO Man ECO Easy on the throttle.

Hey, What's your 60 foot time with that 12 sec 30+ mpg racer (nice times and mpg by the way)
