The soft fleshy bit in the middle is the limitation even with current technology. My neighbor’s old McLaren MP4-12C could accelerate and brake hard enough that I felt the strain on my body, and it’s now slow by modern super car standards.

Really modern 0-60 times are just bench racing to sell cars. Most modern super cars are faster than you can ever use in real life. Even my E63 has way more performance than could ever be used on public roads. But it’s still fun to try!
