I was actually in a 2-car convoy with a 2.7T on the Hutch and Merritt
Parkways driving up to Boston Saturday afternoon - from the outside, I can
agree with the pick-up! I pulled over to let him lead, and man, had to
really mat the pedal to stay with him a couple of times, up the hills on
the Merritt... 

I doubt he was getting over 30 mpg like I was while cruising at 78.... ;-)

Coming home, I hooked up with a Ford F-150 truck with about a 6" lift kit.
Must have been very scary to drive that, especially at speed. Why do they
let those things on Parkways??
