Do the math. 1400 divided by 15.5 hours (the quickest it's been done), and that equals an average of 90.3 MPH...which includes stops for gas and random breaks for el sicko. (For the record, I was not with them for this trip, only in spirit and through many texts and phone calls lol). Any normal person who drives the speed limit or barely over will take longer to drive.
Now, factor in they had a brand new M Class to take last year. THis time, we have 2 Neons, 1 SRT4 and 1 SXT. The SRT4 will need to stop WAY more often for gas then either the M or the SXT. The M class has a much larger tank and would go longer, and the SXT gets better mileage. So now that 1400 miles will be averaged at about 80 to 85 mph. Which is anywhere between 16.5 and 17.5 hours.
16 hours is a reasonable time to get down there. Why you think it's too slow is beyond me.
