...even with our ol' 2001 3.0 5 spd, I've never felt underpowered
or at risk in any traffic situ, for nearly 6 yrs and 60K miles. It isn't the
V8, but it's no slug. Maybe that extra 300-400 lbs on the E70 and/or
a new/boggy auto trans are to blame.
If I want fast, I have 3 other choices in the garage. Diff'n strokes...
