Are you, like, in a hurry, or something?

Geez Louise, these things stock have twice the horsepower at speed,
and four times the torque low down, of anything comparable you could
buy at any price, up to about 1990. Let me introduce you to my 1981
Alfa!

You want it to jump like a frog in a dynamite pond, get something with
five liters and/or a turbo, or get a motorcycle, just an engine and a
seat, get you where you're going way too fast.
