With regards to 0-60, I wonder how often the average person actually DOES do it in under 20 seconds? On surface streets, even if you're the lead car at a traffic light, when it turns green, very few people are going to accelerate to 60 in under 20 seconds, if at all.
I was thinking about this one day last week, when I went on a grocery run, and took my 2023 Charger. The car's probably good for 0-60 in about 5.7 seconds. Not once did I run into a situation where I had to even stomp on it, let alone do a 0-60 run. Heck, I don't think I even got up to 60!
So, that has me wondering...do those tracking devices only penalize you for a "true" 0-60, or do they get on you every time you stomp the gas pedal too hard for their liking? In some situations, it's actually safer to go faster, such as passing a slower car, merging on a highway and getting up to the flow of traffic, and so on. So unless the tracking knows the actual reason WHY you stomped on the gas pedal, it seems pretty useless from a true safety standpoint. In fact, it sounds like it could encourage you to drive dangerously (i.e., pulling out slowly into traffic and risking getting rear-ended) in some situations.
