As far as power goes, it has more than enough. I can beat my friends 4.7L V8 durango from 0-60. My only gripe is if I drive over the summit (7.5k feet), the tall 5th gear doesn't allow me to climb the hills. I'm still considering installing a small turbo (GT15) to fix this issue.

Nahh.. just keep it in 4th!! That is genius your little 1.5L beating a car with an engine more than three times as big. Then again, the Durango prolly weighs about 3 times as much with much higher drag. Any idea what the cd is on your little whippersnapper?
