Creative interpretation of the data is creative.
Again reading compression would help a lot. I never once said the 86 can’t do a low 6s 0-60 WITH A LAUNCH! I said WITHOUT a launch it is a second slower. Putting it in the range of several minivans and crossovers. Have you read how motor trend and car and driver do 0-60 times? They launch manuals on a track in good conditions, so they are hooking and taking off, they just smash the peddle from a stop with autos, sometimes they brake and rev to torque lockup but that’s still not close to a real launch. Nor is it real world as your probably not hooking as well on the street. But hey if you like to rev up and launch at every stop light to pull ahead of minivans more power to you.

Are people really arguing this car is fast? Literally the number one thing everyone says. Car is amazing handling, great entry level track car etc etc.. but it’s just lacking that power and acceleration. I’m not saying anything remotely new. I hope I wasn’t the one to break the news to you this car wasn’t build from the factory for acceleration.
