i beg to differ:

Curb Weight : 3543 lbs

Have you actually driven one? Turn off the traction control and it will absolutely roast the tires from a stop, seriously. Sure it weighs a lot but they are pretty quick for a 4-door Grampa car. They should have no problem smoking an Escort off the line.....

the ability to smoke your tires in first gear doesn't mean anything about straight line performance... i mean shit i could burn the tires off my friends hyundai if i wanted to, still doesn't mean it's gonna be faster than a moped.

True, but it still takes HP/TQ to do it in an auto. WITHOUT using the brake.

Like I said, have you driven one? I think you would be suprised.

you kept up with a more then likely 14.7 to 14.9 car with that escort? Off the line??? I think the dude didn't know how to drive that, probably left the trac control on too. Come get some from my S/Ced 3.8
