Have you ever put the pedal down from a complete stop?

I've done a couple of times from a standstill. She moves out pretty well, with 3rd and 4th being her strongest pulling gears. Sounded great. Mine is a 3.0L. Only 225hp, technically 227, but who's counting? I think the torque is over 200, which I would be happy with but I'm not sure. In western NY I had cruise control set at 115 for about 45 mins and 120 for close to 20 mins. She was purring like a kitten! If you've never been out south western ny way, picture 100's of miles of corn, potatoes, and wind farms. Amazing area. I've also hit the speed limiter at just about 145mph, once. No need to do that again, but she ran like a pro. A thing of beauty. .
