I dont drive a Vega like you so I will settle for a truck and 23.

Will get a larger motor when this one dies but hope not to soon.

depends on how hard I push it. Normally I'm not in any hurry so I ease it up. But when needed I can plane in about 10 to 20 seconds. Never timed it. Maybe next time out.
