Exactly!  You start feeling good about your van and then someone has to throw out this techno-mumbo-jumbo 6% this an extra 3mph that...
I still passed that '02 red mustang on the left, though... and that vanagon didn't even see me wave (i think due to the doppler effect, or something like that :-)
As a side note, i find it amusing that more people are fascinated by an (almost) stock 1.9l going 90mph (-3mph and 6%), than being able to tell me how to get the darn thing to stop...  However, i guess what they say is true, "brakes only slow you down", so to speak.
Brake booster... anyone? anyone?

Even if it was slow, it was still pretty thrilling. And faster than a WBX
can go.
