8 seconds or less.
Anything over 85 mph is begging for a high dollar ticket.

What are you driving, and where that such specs are inadequate?

"8 seconds or less."

BS

Car and Driver, 2013 SL Hatchback 0-60 10.2 sec and 1/4 in 17.8@78.

Those specs will NOT outrun much, and certainly not "most cars on the road".

My dd is a Ram 1500 crew ca Hemi, BIG DAMN TRUCK, 0-60 6.6 sec and 1/4 in 15 flat. AND it's 4WD and can pull a large boat and still outrun that golf cart.

When measuring acceleration, a one second difference is HUGE, both in 0-60 and 1/4 mile.

My non-dd is my original owner 69 Charger 500 Hemi (best ET 10.57 in SS/EA), and I'll soon be ordering a new Charger called Hellcat, which will empty it's 18.5 Gal tank of premium fuel in 13 minutes at full throttle. So I'm not averse to destroying the planet, and will continue to do so happily, given the chance.
