True but remember the American obsession with acceleration is very different from actual speed. Driving involves moving the car round corners and bends. Many less accelerative cars will beat their betters point to point on handling. Then there’s stoping. The less time you spend slowing down the faster you go and lighter better handling vehicles win there too. That F-150 will get its ass handed to it by an older sports car through a city. Drag racing is a tiny niche, it’s not the true measure of automotive performance any more than horsepower is.
