At 120 kph, you are at 2200 RPM or so. The first few meters from take off at green light are slow, then you catch up speed much faster. But even for cars with manual trans. 1st gear sucks.
PS: To take off with the X6, you need a bit more thump than with lighter cars. So bigger torque is needed. Once you get the high torque, you can built speed with less effort on gas pedal. So higher torque right from start helps the X6. I have no w about 850 km with the tank and it responds faster to acceleration. The engine starts to learn faster power building |
A tip.
At stop, step on the brake give the X some more rpm with the gas and then quick release the brake... There you go, it will give you a real kick
But dont do it to often
