One of the first cars I ever drove was the family turbo v6 Chevy box van with an auto (column shifter, the best kind for autos). Thing could seat 12 and handled like a stack of mattresses, but I’d crush the gas pedal into the floor and that thing would pull surprisingly well - after 2-3 business days. Between the transmission taking it’s time to pick just the right gear and the turbo spooling up I could literally punch it and go “one Mississippi two Mississippi three mississi-” VVVVRRRROOOOOMMM. The delay was so prominent that it actually came full circle and became hilarious and fun to drive, one of the only autos I really liked.
