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.

It isn't a slow car. It just isn't as fast as some. And no not "everybody" says it is slow. The AVERAGE 0 to 60 for cars (including SUVs and Minivans) is 9 seconds. Even if we want to twist the times around to account for launch this car is still well below the average and in the "fast" category. Cherry picking top of the line minvans and repeating that their times are "faster" is not looking at the whole nor real world picture.
