I don't mind an older person driving an SSEi. Stock for stock, they're not "fast" as cars go.

They may not be "fast" but a 15 second 4000 lb car has a lot of torque that will .... upset ... some older people

She never goes beyond 1/2 throttle, but no more than 1/4 throttle from a stop. With the new supercharger, new fuel pump, 3 new injectors the engine is in excellent shape and the tranny was just flushed (aka the tranny line just blew and mom pretty much drove until the tranny had pumped all the fluid out -the tranny fluid trail starts 1 block from home and doesn't stop until where she stopped -on the fresh concrete in the new parking lot at the new city hall.

I wonder how long before they send a bill of some sort of letter because after she stopped she left the car running for a couple minutes and the fluid was running across the parking lot and 2 weeks later the trail looks as though it happened today. LOL )
