This is getting silly. If you want to know how fast, lore-wise, a Lambda accelerates, there exists film footage of a Lambda accelerating. I don't see the point of referring to fighters and heavily modified smuggling ships

Behold (1:55):

She not only takes off and accelerates at a leisurely pace, but her wings unfold far slower than they do in FS. Granted, it was not an emergency combat lift-off, but it was not exactly fast either. Yes, it's a military craft, but it's only a military combat craft in FS. In 'reality', it was a cargo ship and a courier vessel for officers, unless commandeered by Rebel commandos
.
I say slow it down a little so that it doesn't go from 0-100 at the speed of a cheeta, but don't reduce it to the leasurely pace demonstrated in the movie
