I've never clocked it but I wouldn't be surprised if it took nearly a mile to accelerate up to 100.
If anyone wants to cry and whine about speeding, try driving the speed limit on the atchafalaya swamp freeway (better known as I-10) heading into Louisiana. If you aren't cruising at least 80 then you will be pushed off the road. I remember cruising through there with traffic at 90+ more than a few times. There are no shoulders, no breakdown lanes, no exits for 20 miles, and it's all one long, continuous bridge.

well I kinda had to get them to stop badgering me some how.. But seriously I was on a closed off road right by PIR(Portland International Raceway) we ran side by side @ about 50 then gunned it.. beat by a stinkin dakota that was probably chipped..
