Yeah, but the 0-60 metric is still stupid. It makes a little more sense nowadays when comparing AWD cars, but still.

Our LR4 is technically as quick 0-60 as the Miata (6-7 seconds) which is slowish in 2020. But if you dare floor the LR4 (a very rare occurrence for me), it will move with enough authority to freak passengers out. Similarly, I can beat the Miata pretty hard on the street (and usually do), making it move pretty fast and faster than it really is.
