What's your favorite acceleration range?
 
I was wondering what acceleration range all of you enjoy the most? With just the following choices.

I like 34mph on up. Its the fastest point of acceleration I have found on my car and the quickest I can be going and still get it to kick down into first.

60-90
 
Seems to be the most used for me....on the freeway getting out of the "UTAH FORMATION DRIVING TEAMS". You know, those drivers that always seem to pace each other at 55 mph in a 65 mph zone?:rolleyes:

60 - 90
 
:D The car really hauls in this range.

I had to go with 30 - 90 since I could not vote for 30 -60 and 60 - 90. Punching it at either evokes strong urges to soil one's pants. I once injured my wife's neck when I jumped on it around 30 to squirt through some traffic. Ever since then she is leary of driving with me in it if there is any chance of me getting aggressive with the throttle.

I get a similar reaction from my wife. I have to give advanced notice of future speed changes.:rolleyes:

this car was made for high speed driving.
 
the 60-90 range is awesome. nothing like punching it on the highway.

My wife (who is responsible for about 100,000 SVX miles) always looks at me and grins and says, "You did that on purpose, didn't you."

:cool:

Man from mid-west chose wisely. :)

My wife used to give me grief about doing that . . . until she was at the wheel and punched it. No more trouble. :D

I'm partial to both 30-60 as well as 60-120 for different reasons.

Care to tell us why you chose to leave out the 120 - 145 (120 - 155 for us '92 owners) range??? What an oversite...I tell ya'... tsk...tsk... :rolleyes:

And you call this an acceleration poll? :confused:


;)

I used to give my wife grief about it until I got the car. Now I give her grief about doing it in her new, higher HP car:rolleyes: :D
