I know they handle very well in the twisties. But that's not what I'm talking about.
As stated before, if you want a straightline monster, stick with a vehicle that has significant torque. People complain about their 0-40 more than anything else honestly.

Pony car guys always want to compare 1/4 times because that's where they excel.
