It's the three speed auto.

Maybe I should clarify. My other car is a Trans Am. With sticky tires
it does 0-60 in low 5's (quarter in 13.11.) With Nitrous it does 0-60
probably mid 4's. (quarter in 12.18) I'm a bit of a speed addict.

With the average sedan today coming with 180-200hp or more and 0-60 in
the 7 second range, I say the Beretta is gutless. The 3.1's are bad for
intake gasket leaks and are noisy and not very powerful, but will run
forever otherwise. (My buddy's Celebrity made it 305,000km before it
started to knock...)
