Boy, I am glad you guys that are in such a big hurry don't drive behind the '13 28k+ school bus that I drive daily. With only 250hp and a 2500 rev limit and a 5 speed Allison it takes over 1500' to get it up to 55 mph on flat ground.
Or the 1992 IHC dump truck I have, with a 175/335 NA 7.3 diesel with a 7 speed spicer. Helps that I have 4.33 gears, 32" tires, and a 10.08-1 first gear to get going at 26k lbs too! Altho I can get 30k lbs to move up a 30% grade, sloooooooooooowly that is!
