"I was in first gear accelerating hard up a hill -- because it's fun. The
engine quit winding up at about 2500 RPM. Then it instantly jumped to what
sounded like 5000 RPM and slammed me back into the seat. The fastest I've
EVER
accelerated in a car. It felt like I had been hit in the back. My head
slammed
into the headrest. "

Feel the rush of that little turbine force feeding large amounts of air down
the throat of that potent 4 cylinder at high pressure!!!!!

CRANK IT UP JIM!
