@evomike you're obviously driving on the wrong roads. The car excels in curvy, tight roads, and the driving experience more than makes up for what the car lacks in straight line speed. Never once have I said "Damn, I'm at WOT right now and I just wish I could blow past this mustang that's trying to race me on a public road." What actually happens, is the mustang blows past me on the straights, then I catch up to them on a turn, or an on/off ramp and blow past them. Much more fun taking a turn quickly than going fast in a straight line.

After riding a Yamaha R6, which went 120kmh in first gear, and did 140-200kmh in something like 3 seconds, I don't need a fast car. I went north of 200 far too many times, and was far too inexperienced for that speed. If you want something fast, you bought the wrong car, especially since the twins have more than enough power to get you in trouble in stock form.
