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.
Yeah it's an imperfect measurement for sure. Car and driver's 5-60 metric gives a better real world sense.
