Why does the VX sound

[Luna X]

That's a great little tid-bit of info, Gussie. thanks!

I have yet another querie about these VX's...

We got rid of a 2WD 2000 Rodeo (3.2L) that seemed to have much more "oomph" from a standstill.
Does the TOD sap some of the linear power in exchange for more stability? I have to admit, the VX feels almost like the Z while zippin' around corners (and slow people)... gotta love the handling!

I believe that the rodeo had more standstill power because of the 2wd ,the engine only had to focus on delivering the power to the rear axle,instead the TOD have to deal with two axles all the time so the load is more.

For a vehicule with 4000+ pounds & only 215HP the VX take off is acceptable.
