It's easy enough to improve that record, just put a flipping jato rocket in the back
I'm sure a light weight car will do 0-60 in 1 second with one of those

It is almost al bragging rights, and advertising headlines. However we all KNOW it is fun to blast through the acceleration curve and feel the engine "come on cam" and get onto a freeway merge and join the traffic flow.
I live a few miles from I-35 and I-44 interchange. The actual speed limit in city limits along there is 70. There are more than a few on ramps in the area that are mostly traffic free. It is part of my test loop and where I take family and friends on a ride. My 911 is a slug compared to all the cars on that list, but some of the on-ramps we have have a nice curve right in the middle of the on-ramp. Getting up to 70 does not take long, and I can merge in with the traffic easily. And traffic is usually rolling along at 75 or so. For the average passenger that has never been in a sports car in a curve it is pretty exciting. I can't imagine the fun of doing it in a truly fast car.
