Not really. It's not a sports car. >> Stay informed about: Skinny Legs |

It's a bit sluggish off the mark, but there is a nice sort of power band at
about 5 1/2k [can a 4 stroke have a power band?]...

I have the opposite problem.
My calves seem to grow three inches just
walking up the stairs. Then I cant get much
chast or arm growth with lots of effort.

Of course, all engines have a power band. All engines will create more power
at a certain RPM than another, so a band represents the power delivery of
that specific engine. >> Stay informed about: Skinny Legs |

Ah, my wife has acquaintances similar to that. They only have to look at a
cream cake and they put half a stone on !

I doubt it. I remember reading that the Omega MV6 (the so-called 'sporty'
one) had a 0-60 time of something like 8.2 seconds. Don't know if that was
the 3 litre or 3.2, mind, but it's still shite.

I don't eat chocolate, I find it more efficient to just strap the bars
round my waist.

I suppose it could appear so if your previous car was a 1.8 Mondeo or
something similar...

It's not /that/ far behind the Carlton though - as this talk about a
GSi3000 doing 60mph in under seven seconds is complete and utter
bollocks.
