As for it's pick up and overall top speed, is yours a V6? And what about the tranny? Auto or manual? I can only speak for myself, but my truck is damn quick. I'm not a red light racer, but a few times I've wanted to get out in front, and the driver beside me anticipated it, and attempted to keep me back... Not happening. Same thing at cruising speed. Drop a gear and pin it... It's not a porche, but it destroys the other vehicles I drive from time to time, such as an F150, a Santa Fe, a Cherokee Ltd, and a Malibu. But again, those are all autos, and I do tend to drive like a granny when I'm in someone else's vehicle.
I dunno, what about you, Shantz? You find your Taco fast? I love the feeling of mine. Handles well, and goes like hell.

re: clutch start cancel - well, there's my answer! I guess it is an interesting feature to be able to start it without being in the truck. Still kind of a weird IMO, but glad somebody out there is using it.
Yeah mine is the V6 Extended Cab 4x4 with a 6-speed manual transmission. Seems average accelration wise and I would even have smaller tires than you (don't have the TRD package) so it should technically be faster. Well maybe mine's a lemon that way or I might just be wanting too much out of it. All and all, it is the perfect small truck and is better than all the rest IMO. Maybe there's a chip or something I could get for it. If I ever see you at a set of lights I'll try and take you off the line.
