a) Slow to start but unstoppable. Driving on a mountain road feels like driving on a flat land. Hills? What hills. Too bad though that revving up that engine doesn't make the car accelerate any quicker.

300 ft lbs is plenty to get up to speed but in the average sedan you'd probably be limited to 50 or 60 mph top speed. I'm sure there's a calculator somewhere which measures top speed vs. hp and torque.
