The death of the 'conservatve' acceleration claim.

It was actually fine at anything other than motorway speeds. My observation was that I reckoned the vast majority of drivers would think it was ok the vast majority of the time.

Acceleration from a standing start was almost nippy, and acceleration at town and B-road speeds was adequate. It was above that where the sense of urgency upon acceleration rapidly starting to dwindle. Planting your foot at 80 simply resulted in the gearbox dropping several cogs, the engine making strained noises and the car gradually gathering more speed.
