Let me guess, automatic transmission? I have a manual Rio and I can push it in half the time in third gear. Not redlining anything, just less conservative shifting.

Nope, manual, I'm in Europe. But 75 PS Diesel with 6 gears. Redlining doesn't help much when it comes to accelerating.

Especially diesel engines.
