Alex, you have to turn everything off for the 616 to make any speed.
Gump has not power robbing accessories, so she is a little speed demon.
I think her 0-60 is in the 25 second range.

Yes, I know, old news to most of you. But I'd never driven one for
any significant length of time until my indy lent me one for two days
while working on my 124. Now I know what "drive it like you stole it"
REALLY means! It maintained cruising speed just fine on the flat, but
it's pretty disconcerting to floor the loud pedal at any speed over 50
or so and have basically nothing to speak of happen unless you have a
few minutes to wait. I'm impressed with the gumption of people who
drive these on a regular basis, especially if it's in a place with
high-speed cutthroat freeway traffic.
