I think you would consider this suv a performance vehicle with 0-60 times of 4.6 and mid 13sec 1/4 mile times since 2010 it does surprise a lot of people. And for people like you who want to put gas in it and just drive that's great too, I've loved this suv when it was stock and during its transformation over the last 18yrs, and hope you enjoy yours as much as I have.
