Yes most people base thins solely on stopped 0-60 and stoplight-to-stoplight speed. This is probably not a car for those people.
Exactly. Also, I'll bet that those numbers are conservative. Lexus quoted the original ISF as a 4.6 or 4.7 second 0-60 but magazines and people on forums consistently got into the low 4's.
