    Agreed. I owned a 2000 Xterra for 6 years and yeah, compared the VX, it's weak sauce.

    Not an Xterra story, but I was going over Independence Pass (the continental divide) outside of Aspen a couple of summers ago and had an Audi A4 hugging my tail. The pass is a super twisty road and the Audi was ticking me off so I decided to screw with him (I know I shouldn't have, but I couldn't resist). Every time he got right up on my butt and started to try and pass me I would floor it and zip through the twisties. The VX stuck to the road like glue and I would pull away from him because he just couldn't keep up. I would slow down and let him catch back up then punch it and speed ahead again. When we finally got to a long straight away I slowed down and let him pass, but as he did he wouldn't look over at me, and sheepishly kept his head down as he crept by.
    HA! You just got left in the dust by an SUV. How ya feelin' now?

    Hmmmm, my brother has a 2005 X-Terra. Might have to challenge him to a race next time I see him.
