Completely false.

0-60 is EXTREMELY important, and a big selling metric for sports cars; it's one of the most important things to me, probably the most, actually. it's a blast and reminds me of riding a roller coaster... I don't know where you're getting your information from, but it's false and shouldn't be passed on as fact imho.

With AWD and getting the power to the ground, it's quite a rush and most of the reason I own this car and recommend them to other people every chance i get... 1/4 mile is the second most important figure to me personally... it's the "gold standard" pretty much everyone uses and compares cars with. 60-130? To me, that is "worthless." I don't go around driving around at 100+ mph. smh

On a side note... really looking forward to running my car in the spring this year... can't wait to see what it'll run! Hopefully somewhere in the mid 10's.
