My experiences in the first four weeks of owning my Ford Explorer sport

[Carnivore]

The power on this car is really unbelievable for a 5000 pound car. I have an Audi A4 that is supposed to be one of the quicker small sports cars and my explorer absolutely beats it 0 to 60. In the first two weeks I have the car I got one speeding ticket. And it was going through a tollbooth I Accellerrated and before I knew it I was at 80. The police officer caught me before I was even able to slow down. Then again two days ago I accelerated from a stoplight hit 43 and a 25 zone before I realized how fast I was going in the police officer was right there. Luckily on that one I only got a warning because I knew the police officers friend. But the bottom line is this car is quick and you don't realize how fast you're accelerating until it's too late

Had the same issue when I bought a 1964 Cadillac Sedan de Ville back in 1968. No tickets though.

They really just wanted to see what you were driving...as you cant find them at any dealer

To be fair, the base A4 is not meant to be a fast car. The turbo option of the A4 does a better job with speed, but for a fast Audi in the 4-lineup you need to step up to the S4 or RS4. Same is true here for the Explorer. Ford has the Eco-boast 4 banger, the standard V6, and the Turbo V6.
