1w0 aint that bad, at least not in my BURB. Hit the limiter I set in it one day, only reason I knew it was was because I was half throttle, gave it more, didnt go no more. My nephew yelled from the back seat holy sheet. We were on our way to the hospital because my mom had gotten in a wreck, and I just stopped looking at the speedo. Counted to almost 4 before the speedo came off the 100 mph peg when I let iff the throttle. She was surprisingly smooth there though.

I've been pretty fast in a couple rigs, my truck is NOT confidence inspiring in the least at 100. LOL! Get's there pretty nice though.

The BURB is so smooth, it's scary. It's actually smoother at 100 than it is at 75. And she holds her own getting there.

It keeps pulling just as fast all the way up.

Set it on economy and drive like you have an egg under your foot and I eek out 24 MPG when empty. IFF I stay in the sweet spot at 63MPH...

Best I've done has been 23, but that was driving about 60/40 split keeping it under 65 coming down the intercoastal drive from Jersey south. Getting 23MPG with a 42 gallon tank is ALOT of driving before you have to fill up. And I just beefed up my front end so I can now use 4X4 to help hold the power. Time to do a boosted launch video in 4 high and see how it can take off.
