After the what is the lowest MPG and a few crazy redliners, perhaps a bit of "Sunday driving" is needed.
From a standstill without using the accelerator at all, how what is the highest speed you can get.
V6 has lots of low down grunt so can carry 5th gear, but the idle is a low 750 rpm which peaks out at 18 mph. The car will happily roll along at that speed.
Anyone else nuts (or bored) enough to give it a try?
How fast can you go ... at idle?
