I said you have to beat the piss out of it to get it moving. I didn't say "moving fast" lol...just...moving...and I can't imagine ever categorizing it as a "performance motor"...unless the qualifications of being considered a performance motor include being weak, rattly, chirpy, etc...the engine is the absolute weakest part of this car imo...
