Camry is about 10 seconds 0 - 60, the PT about 11

It's adequate for it's purpose and in what I consider "normal" driving
I'm the fastest away from the light almost all the time, not because
I'm trying to race, I just don't like starting up slow. I'm not
saying the other vehicles couldn't beat me if we were racing, but very
few people ever accelerate faster then a sloth and the PT can easily
keep up.
