Bingo. You just have to hit the go pedal a little harder, and what's wrong with that? No sweeter sound in the world than a straight six working for a living. Don't be one of those typical American bozo drivers who thinks any car with less than a 300-hp V-8 is underpowered just because you have to push the accelerator down more than an eighth of an inch when you're merging onto the freeway.
