At least people are coming up and complimenting my car, I guess...that hasn't really happened before, and I've had plenty of cars...slow and fast.

The sandwich guy simply responded by saying "Yea it's definitely slow if all you know how to do is step on the gas pedal. If you actually know how to drive though it will run circles around many cars." Obviously the guy took offense, but all I could do was smile and chuckle when it was my turn to place my order.
The true question is: how can the Jimmy John's guy afford a twin?

i loved my celica actually and i had one of the fastest NA 2zz-ge ever built
at 2500lbs with around 220whp to the ground before corn juice a lot of sub $40k cars had a hard time keeping up with me in a straight line. so sitting at around 290 crank hp i was at about 8.6 lbs/hp. adding power to light cars goes quite a long way.
