    Try driving to top of Pikes Peak in the 67awhp Manwagon. THAT is cringeworthy.

      My volvo surprisingly didn't have much of an issue with it... But I probably have like 100 more ftlb of torque than you.

        Probably. The Scoob's got good torque so that at least helped, but it wasn't a fun jaunt. 1st gear at redline at walking pace is dreadful.
