you haven't seen slow until you driven a 96 ford escort
I had a 96 ford escort. It was fun to drive but also a 5spd, which helps out with the fun/fast factor. Currently my Cutlass is a slow car. It doesn't even move! But I'm working on that. Before the motor/trans came out it took about 6 seconds to get up to 30 from a stop sign.
Previous slow cars, 87 Sunfire 87 S-10, both topped out at 85mph on the highway.
