That torque helps a lot on a 0 to 60. My car feels slow to me until I am above 25 mph and then start rowing gears.
One thing to keep in mind when reading straight line stats for this car is to pay attention to what it does from 50 to 100. It's much more competitive. I lost a casual stoplight race with a mini copper s up to 50 or 60 in my car vs a friend. 0 to 30 I was a car length back and still almost reeled him in before I quit a bit below 60 mph. This was without launching the car.
