Slow on takeoff yes, but once the turbo kicks in you'd be amazed at how quickly they can move.

In both our cases we we're better drivers then the pillocks. One- just because they sound fast doesn't mean that they are fast. Two-A good driver in a slow car will always be faster then a bad driver in a fast car. (Within respectable limits of course)
