> Why do you feel it needs to be faster?

Because there's nothing I hate more than a car that doesn't respond when I try to accelerate.



The amount of torque you get and how fast you get it is what you care about then, not 0-60 times.

They're not really related. There are cars with good 0-60 times that have terrible fast-secondary/highway acceleration; cars with big turbos, for example, and overly aggressive throttle-input smoothing (for mileage.)


I don't get it. The faster a car accelerates from 0 to whatever speed, the higher acceleration it has. How could it not be related?
