Isn't it amazing how we as consumers get sucked in to the BS marketing? How many of us will REALLY notice the difference in performance or better yet even be able to take advantage of it? Most of us are only going to care how quickly we get from stoplight to stoplight or onto the freeway. Comparing numbers like these is almost like inmates comparing dick size...even if you got a monster it's not like you can use it...well at least your cell mate hopes not.
I don't know...It's not so much a matter of being sucked into marketing, it's a matter of knowing the car's potential with a professional driver behind the wheel. Of course the times will vary...but knowing that...you can make a rough judgement when comparing two vehicles performance statistics.
