if you want 0 to 60 change the gear ratio.
You get to 62-63mph with the bumped up rev limit. Just the OFT alone saves you a fair amount of time on the 0-60 for that reason alone. That is not really the reason why 0-60 is not a great judge of power in the car though. It seems like people have trouble launching it which is why we haven't seen many <2s 0-60' times. This car isn't about launching from a stop anyway, its glory comes from transitions, turns, and momentum. More power helps with that. Different suspension setups will help the launch.
