I personally don't press deep the gas pedal to move foward,plus the acceleration our VX's comes with is enough to move fast the almost 3000 pounds the VX weights.
My secret : press the gas pedal little by little,the VX begins to gain speed & in 7 seconds the VX is moving at 30 mph; What more you want ?
This is just my two cents quote
Again, I would say it definitely depends on the circumstances. First of all, if you are not lifted and you live in a state that has barely any inclined roads, the VX's get-up-and-go power is certainly sufficient. I DO remember living in flat Illinois with a stock VX and being able to haul tail all over the place. But now, lifted, with bigger tires, a roof rack catching hella wind, and a 45° incline on the highway for 7 miles, it's tough to get my VX over 60mph sometimes without flooring it. Hell, loaded down with camping gear on the way to Moab into the wind I couldn't get over 45mph up hill at one point, even in POWER mode. So yeah, there are times out here where you have to push the skinny pedal a lot farther down to get the speed you want going up hill...but uphill burns gas, and that much I know!!
