(RC51 is) slow
I have to laugh at all the posers. IIRC a stock RC51
was tested when it was new by one of the magazines
at 10.5 seconds in the quarter mile.

Just for comparison, who here currently drives a car
on the street which is quicker than 10.5 through the
quarter? I'll bet not one blowhard here does.

"Slow" my *ss - from the drivel here, you would think
an RC51 would have trouble keeping up with a Model
A Ford, going from stoplight to stoplight.

An RC51 is plenty fast enough for the street, thank
you.
