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.

The 0-60 is important to GR Corolla Morizo owners so they can flex that it’s just as fast as a dark horse.
0-60 is just to make AWD and launch control equipped cars look way better than they are in the real world
Don’t tell the STI guys that their 5-60 is slower than a Golf GTI and a GR86
STi is somewhere around 7 seconds 5-60, I feel like the new Prius might be faster 😬
If the race goes to just 60 I don’t even think the Prius has to be new to win lol
