These cars dont have a lot of low end grunt (ie torque), which usually comes from more displacement or forced induction. Also it is pretty hard to get a tour out of the blocks very quickly (wheel hop issues and just general setup), but once they get going, they move pretty good. I know my car really rips above 4500rpm.
