“From a complete stop when attempting to accelerate you can push the accelerator all the way to the floor and it will accelerate extremely slow then will take off creating one of two safety concerns. Either you must floor the accelerator to even attempt to keep up with traffic or feather the accelerator and get run over from behind.”
