I used to have a diesel Vanagon. 48 horsepower. EVERY 0 to 60 run was a flat out 0 to 60 run, at least if I didn't want to be mowed down while merging onto the freeway.
I used to joke it didn't need a tach because I just floored it until it hit the governor limit, then upshifted...it had a four speed with huge gaps between the ratios, so a shift at anything short of redline tended to drop it out of the power band.
