@Defuser this is why I believe there should be a new performance measure when testing cars. I call it "Casual 0-40" and basically it measures how fast a car can get to 40 if the driver isn't necessarily stomping it. Think about it, 0-60 times are based on launching and redlining, practices very few people do in the real world, so it matters little. Plus, the most common speed limits are 25mph and 35mph, so the car won't even see a road where it can go 0-60. Tell me how long it takes a car to get to 40 and I'll be more impressed.
