took my boys to the local aircraft museum yesterday

they have a fire truck that does 0-50 mph in 2.4 seconds and this thing is huge!

don't be fooled by small engines being slow by the way....in a small car a well tuned small engine can shift....




Compare the 1800 - 2500 cc engine performance to MUCH larger engines (OK then, American cars!) and see that a 5 litre car's top end is no different!

My old 2.0l Alfa with 160,000+ miles could still crack 130 mph no sweat!
