My car can be pretty darn quick when the boost is up, traction is good, and when the foot is heavy.
But it's my daily driver, so I tend to drive it ultra conservative. Just putting along, being a good little boy. I'm not gunning it every light, my car makes the most harmonic pulse at about 2600rpm in 5th gear. I'd rather hear that, then it screaming at 6800rpm.
Ok, not always... but you know what I mean.
