I was looking through lap times of different production cars, and there are some wildly out of place cars doing ring laptimes, some cars are faster than they seem they should be, while others are slower than they should be. Which got me thinking how some cars truly get tested in showroom condition, and others get the “marketing” treatment to produce a laptime a showroom car would never touch, solely to sell more cars. Then I found this article that talks exactly about just that.

Well, I would dare saying that 0-60 matters in one weird spot, in merging into high speed traffic when standing still, something very common in NYC highways.
But yes, it’s meaningless otherwise.
