Real life.
That's BS. They even wrote in the test notes that is exactly how they got their 0-60 time. "Disable the stability control, rev the engine to 5000 rpm and go." They decided not to do this on the 5-60 roll out, which doesn't make any sense. Either you do both w/ the t/c on, or both with it off. Either way you are missing the point. Your larger displacement Camry with worse fuel economy can only go in a straight line at nearly the same pace. What an engineering achievement like you said. OBJECTIVELY.
